Facespook, a CIA creation, has always sucked. They SPY on you via your computer, even after you're logged out.

Zberg is a sick freak, so this frankly doesn't surprise me.

Even after I log out?

Yep! "FB tracks your every move on the web, even after you log out."

Ok, so if I delete my browsing history every time I log out of Facebook I'm good?

"Writing at AppSpot, he discovered that Facebook's tracking cookies-which never expire, are only altered instead of deleted when a user logs out. This means that the tracking cookies still have your account number embedded in them and still know which user you are after you've logged out.

That also means that when you visit another site with Facebook-enabled social applications, from Like buttons to Open Graph apps, even though you're a logged out user, Facebook still knows you're there, and by "you," we mean specifically your account, not an anonymous Facebook user. Cubrilovic notes that the only way to really stop Facebook from knowing every site you visit and social application you use is to log out and summarily delete all Facebook cookies from your system."

There is a subsequent section, "What Can I Do About It," with additional hints.
