Facebook's tracking of other Web site visits under fire

http://j.mp/rPOKmj  (USA Today)

   "Facebook officials are now acknowledging that the social media
    giant has been able to create a running log of the web pages that
    each of its 800 million or so members has visited during the
    previous 90 days.  Facebook also keeps close track of where
    millions more non-members of the social network go on the Web,
    after they visit a Facebook web page for any reason."
