[Ipg-smz] We need an alternative to our existing lists

[Tom Henderson]

Nope.

Facebook icons track you across the sites you visit by IP address and 
browser profile, along with other cookies and supercookies. If you're no 
longer part of Facebook, you're not part of their revenue stream and 
that's the only way you're potentially safe. All of their apps track 
you, and track you for their other apps. How convenient!

Sadly, they've many different methods to know where you've been, and 
whether you've been naughty or nice, or simply (and importantly) going 
to sales sites that could trigger ad placements.
