Many other sites pull the same tricks (sometimes on /me/), but you'd expect
Facebook, being a large company, to be a gentleman about it. Then again,
Facebook is extremely close to Microsoft (I can't stress this strongly enough)
and Microsoft gives s**t about priavcy. I could find you like 20 recent
articles to back this, if needed.
