“It’s not clear what meaningful recourses Internet users have for preventing the data collection. The researcher said that ad-blockers can filter out some, but not all, of the replay scripts. Checking the “do not track” option built into some browsers also failed to stop the logging. That means every keystroke typed into a Web field may be logged, character by character, even if the visitor later deletes the field and never presses a submit button.
Until more robust protections are available, people should remember that just about anything they do while visiting a website can be logged.”
Facebook users should be aware that FB employs a highly sophisticated software suite which tracks —all— user activity, including scroll times, text or images that are deleted prior to posting/sending, and all keystroke/mouse activity.
