Facebook’s Beacon gets beaten by Moveon.org

Moveon.org has won against Facebook to remove the beacon from automatic to optional. Now you can do your shopping without letting the rest of the planet know. The statment from Facebook says: “Facebook is listening to feedback from its users and committed to evolving Beacon so users have even more control over the actions shared from participating sites with their friends on Facebook. Facebook already has made changes to ensure that no information is shared unless a user receives notifications both on a participating website and on Facebook.”
