FACEBOOK has come under fire after it was revealed adult sites could show up in people's Facebook account timelines.

Technology blog Techwag has warned Facebook users to prepare for embarrassing connections to porn sites to start appearing in their timelines once the new feature goes live in coming weeks.

The timeline feature means you will now have an ongoing and persistent record of your activities when on Facebook and so will others who can view your page.

What this means is that if a porn site uses passive sharing options on Facebook, has “like” buttons on its page or allows people to sign into their site using your Facebook details then all of that will now be recorded on your timeline.

As if facebook wasnt creepy enough now.

So... porn or Facebook?

Let me delete Facebook.

Oisterboy · 09-30-2011, 07:40 PM

Is there any option to turn that off? I definitely go on sites I don't want everyone knowing about. Porn or otherwise.

****ing damnit they always have to mess up the simplest of things with stupid bullshit.

Lol well, I do not want that people find out about my clan activity and my sex toy buying obsession, so yea...

Funny is, it will be impossible to completely block, because facebook is stupid.

How so? Well you can block it from showing up in your timeline, but all apps will have access to it and by this be able to notify it to your friends, if they think that they might share your interest.

Can be very akward, to find out that the dude I hardly know is into breeding the Death's-head Hawkmoth too...

I have everything turned off on my facebook. Places, people tagging me in stuff, searching for me, everything.

The only app I have allowed is PSN. It posts trophies and PS store purchases.

Hopefully this won't effect me.

LOL, guess I better get my notepad out to jot down some porno sites xD

KREVA · 09-30-2011, 08:52 PM

I'm gonna leave that stuff open for all of my friends to see. And I'll leave comments like:

"Yeah this one is totally fap worthy."

Hell, most of my female friends on my facebook are exes, I've railed each one of them, and they know I watch porn. I think I'm safe.

Wicked315 · 09-30-2011, 08:57 PM

Wait, I got it.

>Log off Faceook.
>Fap
>Log back on.

It's brilliant.

Use a different browser for porn.

If you use Chrome, use FF. Vice versa.
