Does Facebook offer a way to "opt out" of this?

Ryder

Not that I have seen.

Thrax

No they do not.

Forgive me if I'm wrong because this might be something different, but didn't Facebook have this whole Beacon fiasco a year ago? It resulted on a user's ability to opt out of using Beacon, as well as a public apology from Zuckerburg himself.

Or was that just surrounding the news feed on facebook posting where you'd been recently/what you'd bought.

If you go to Settings, Privacy, Applications, you can choose "Don't allow Beacon websites to post stories to my profile".
