Did you know that Facebook actively tracks you if you visit a porn website?
If you are logged into Facebook and you visit any adult entertainment or porn site, chances are that site has a Facebook plug-in button. This Facebook plug-in will actively track you and know that you are surfing porn sites.
Facebook tracks your web habits because it collects data about the websites you visit so it can target the ads you see – including your taste in porn.
According to its data policy, Facebook states:
“We collect information when you visit or use third-party websites and applications that use our Services. This includes information about the websites and applications you visit, your use of our services on those websites and applications, and information that the developer or publisher of the application or website provides to you or us.”.
Facebook's "Share" and "Like" buttons are actively tracking visitors to any website, despite the social media network promising they wouldn't be used to track its users seven years ago.
Facebook won't use your porn viewing habits to bombard you with sexual ads, but the worrying thing is that Facebook will know exactly what you've viewed.
The only option left for you, if you visit such sites, is to log out of Facebook and use VPN and/or Tor to surf without the fear of being tracked.
