shamu726 Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Facebook wants to know not just where your mouse ends up, but where it's been. Caress this chipmunk's cheeks with your pointer? Facebook wants to know about it.Facebook is considering collecting yet more data from users in the form of tracked mouse movements, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal Wednesday. Your scrolls, your hovers, your highlights, your right clicks: Facebook wants them all.It’s not uncommon for websites to minutely track the items that users click on to see how they interact with different pages. A heat map of a page can show where most people end up clicking, giving sites an idea of how users’ eyes travel and parse the information there.But Facebook’s tracking would be another level of tracking entirely. According to the WSJ, Facebook will be paying attention to the areas a cursor lingers over, even without a click or other interaction. This seems like a bit of a strange motion to track, as if users are out there lovingly tracing the facial profiles of their family members or ex-crushes like they might do on a photograph. But if there’s meaning to be had, Facebook will have it.In addition to tracking mouse movements, Facebook will also be gathering mobile data. It can’t track finger-lingers over a touchscreen, thankfully, but the company will be noting when, for instance, “a user’s newsfeed is visible at a given moment on the screen of his or her mobile phone.”Source: Ars Technica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambrocious Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 (edited) So Facebook wants to install a nice little KeyLogger basically? Instead of becoming more secure and friendly to the people, Facebook is clearly going the wrong way and on purpose. Facebook is afterall one giant phishing scene disguised as a fun place to talk to people you know. Facebook is just another way that the USA government has access to most anyones profile which people have filled out on thier own will. You filled out all those details about yourself...and Facebook not only sells that info, but gives it to the NSA and probably other government agencies which feel the need to pick threw our privacy with a big smile.
