Well, as I’ve said in the past, you can’t expect to use free services and have any semblance of privacy. Facebook updated their Terms of Service (TOS) yesterday and slipped in a little “extra” clause which
I noticed in the past two or so months, after Google upgraded their SERPs to enable users to rearrange and delete results (see thumbnail to right) that the outbound links Google was posting on SERPs were redirects through the google.com site (meaning, they were tracking clicks on outbound links.)
