Talk:Facebook Beacon

message: This is a discontinued feature of Facebook. Does not deserve a standalone article. Cd watch vital (talk) 09:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, it was a big news story in its own right, sparking controversy and eventually a Class Action Lawsuit against Blockbuster, based on the Video Privacy Protection Act. The fact that it is a discontinued feature is all the more reason it deserves its own article!  As Facebook continues to age, this controversy may become less important as a portion of the company's history, but the event itself does not lose importance. --Knulclunk (talk) 09:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: I have to agree, I've heard nothing of it being discontinued, not even from Facebook's Beacon page. --Powerlord (talk) 15:24, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  merge to [[Criticism of Facebook]] 

message: The new language "...corporations that activated Facebook Beacon when they released their common member's personal information to their Facebook user friends without their consent through the Facebook Beacon program." is terribly confusing. Can we get a rewrite? --Knulclunk (talk) 01:15, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
