Facebook has just released a tool that lets you turn off some third-party tracking. But changing the new setting requires 9 different clicks, in a corner of the site that most users will never see.

Yikes.Just deleted FB's Off-Facebook activity tracker after checking out the plethora of apps I use that share info with it.This story tells you what to do. Facebook will now show you exactly how it stalks you — even when you’re not using Facebook https://t.co/C4HTLug7xj

Facebook’s new “Off-Facebook Activity” tracker will show its users what data it gathers from partnering websites, apps, and stores. The @washingtonpost concludes, “You might be shocked or at least a little embarrassed by what you find in there."https://t.co/hQyquN0xWS

We're happy to see Facebook taking this step toward transparency and user control, and hope other companies follow suit.
— EFF (@EFF) January 29, 2020
But the burden shouldn't be on users to manage ever-changing privacy settings. Real change will require stronger data privacy laws. https://t.co/qDC8ysrsjY
"This unfathomable bounty of information will likely give plenty of Facebook users a cold, edifying shock—if they can find it. But it is not a service, really," @kait_tiffany writes in @theatlantic https://t.co/O2zqTXLd6Z

Libraries: don’t send patron data to Facebook. If you have FB share icons on your site, root them out. Spyware does not belong on our sites!!! https://t.co/UeN2U9RoZJ pic.twitter.com/uMnrmdSBJB

The obsolescence of “notice & consent” as privacy control: “Confronted by 1000s of bullet points about the past 180 days of my life, I find the collection impossible to derive meaning from. I’m flattened by its completeness; I’m galled by its omissions.”https://t.co/WDVCy3gaoI

Important advisory: #Facebook's new "Clear History" button doesn't clear shit. Here's a reasonably plain-English explanation: https://t.co/QBIAQl4SxX #privacy #fail
— Kagan MacTane (@kmactane) January 29, 2020
Facebook states they 'receive more details and activity than what appears here', for example, 'information we've received when you're not logged into Facebook'.
— Wolfie Christl (@WolfieChristl) January 29, 2020
And, of course, the 'clear history' tool doesn't actually remove all the data collected: https://t.co/Le0cSU3XEK
