Facebook — Policy Change
moderate→
Facebook launched Beacon, an advertising system that tracked users' purchases and actions on 44 partner websites and broadcast them to friends' News Feeds without explicit consent. Beacon transmitted data even when users were logged out of Facebook. After massive backlash, Mark Zuckerberg apologized and made Beacon opt-out on December 5, 2007. Beacon was shut down entirely in September 2009.
