I've been blocking every Facebook domain I can find in my browser since 2010. Why? Because I knew they could connect up referer headers on Like buttons to my Facebook cookie, and create a complete profile of me and the kind of articles I read.
(I did the same thing with Google's Plus stuff, as best I could.)
Facebook didn't need to implement things that way. But they've been acting in a sinister way for years, their game plan has been clear as day. And I for one don't consent.
