Lo siento, pero no tengo tiempo de traducir esta info sobre BEACON y como maneja toda tu información. Sin embargo creo es de interes general.
Gracias a

Ya aparte, me voy a borrar mi cuenta de Facebook, que la intente pero nopers, no me divierte y prefiero no tener un servicio que me hace tan dificil borrar mi cuenta. A diferencia de LJ no hay botoncito de DELETE.
"For people who don't understand, beacon tracks ALL of your computer activity on the internet so long as you are logged in with that browser. It then reports back to the mothership:
*where you go
*how long you are there
*exactly what links you look at.
"So somewhere in the ether a record then exists of everything you've done (or your IP)--bit torrent files or software. Well, there's a record of it. Music sharing? The RiAA would like a share. Looking at porn at home? Your employer might want to purchase those results.
"The reality is right now, the company keeps those files and nothing happens. But tracking illegal activities is a compelling reason to allow seizure of the information. And the information itself is valuable beyond the primary use for ads.
"And we have a graphic example in front of us of how companies hand possible profit."
If you want to minimize the impact you can follow these steps:
- Go to the admin console.
- Type set synlevel title and hit "execute". That means only your entry title will be shown. (The other options are "summary" and "full", which are obviously worse.)
- For communities, type set for communityname synlevel title, e.g. "set for comics_meta synlevel title".LinkEPA: Flocked.

El hecho que no pueda desaparecer mi cuenta con la facilidad que puedo desaparecer un blog es algo molesto.

In case you guys haven't heard this yet: New website Spokeo tricks you into sharing your email information and then posts all your separate online identities together, making it the perfect site for stalkers. They phish people with this creepy email (and makes me think they gather info on you even if you don't sign up. UGH!).
Y de este otro blog:
Spokeo? More like Spooky-o; bad practice taken to the extreme.
