It seems that every website I visit nowadays boasts its own Facebook like button. But what does this actually mean for someone visiting the site? New information suggests these widgets do more than just post information to your Facebook wall if you click the thumbs up icon. Eerily, the buttons are working even if you don’t click it at all.

Privacy debates are flooding the conversation about social media and it’s no secret that Facebook users are now taking more precautions when it comes to sharing information online. I’m not here to ease that “Big Brother” paranoia that the media has rightfully instilled in so many of us. The Wall Street Journal recently revealed that Facebook (along with Twitter) follows users to sites even after they turn off their browser and even computer.

When you see a Facebook like button on another website, Facebook knows you’re there. The crazy thing is, you don’t have to actually click the like button.

For reasons which will become obvious, I can’t reveal my full identity.  But let me just say that, I am an executive with Sony Music UK with many years experience in music mangement.   My work involves close liasion with Simon Cowell’s SYCO company (specifically SYCO Music and SYCO TV) and, as a result, I have seen what goes on from the inside and this has left  me increasingly uncomfortable about the integrity of Britain’s Got Talent and particularly the workings of SYCO.

 

It’s long been known that there is a quite a degree of “fixing” in BGT.  ( Daily Mail http://bit.ly/fxkWne )  But press reports on “fixing” are only the tip pf the iceberg when it comes to  SYCO’s manipulation of, not only the show and the contestants, but also the viewing public and hopefully, in this email, I can shine some light on the smoke and mirrors trickery of SYCO.
