This article comes off as being both disingenuous and a significant exaggeration of what is actually happening here. I think that saying that "Facebook doesn't actually log you out" is overstating what is actually happening here. The fact is that Facebook is collecting analytics on your browsing habits when you visit sites that have any of their integration on them, regardless of whether you are currently "logged in" to Facebook or not. We are conveniently ignoring the fact that any number of other sites, including Google, collect the same information everyday, but we are suddenly enraged at Facebook.

Saying that they are not logging you out is incorrect, they are logging you out of Facebook, they are turning off integration, they are preventing websites that use integration from collecting your info. What they are not doing is ceasing their data collection. At this point I think people need to understand that this (analytics, whether used for good or for evil) is a very regular activity on the internet and move past using hyperbole to try and attack the companies that use it.

</rant> I am just tired of hearing everyone bitch and moan every time x company touches their interface.
