MoveOn on Facebook

LA Times Article

MoveOn vs. Facebook
According to Jessica Guynn, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer, "MoveOn.org launched a campaign Tuesday on Facebook against Facebook." The article said:

Facebook allows its members to opt out of the ad system, called Beacon. But MoveOn.org contends the program violates users' privacy by requiring them to opt out rather than voluntarily opt in. "The sole reason for this new feature is to serve corporate advertisers and make it easier for them to micro-target Facebook users with ads," MoveOn .org spokesman Adam Green said. "Breaching privacy is against the type of community Facebook should be striving for."
