They should make it so every time you click it is makes a f**t sound. Then they'd have something there.

Well, I'm now going to think hard about whether I really want to continue on here. I've avoided FB as much as possible. The idea that content from here can now be shared/linked to that platform with a simple click really irks me.We now have a little buttbook link at the bottom of each post now.

I wasn't seeing it. I then turned off Adblock Plus on Firefox and it showed up.
I turned it back on. -
Who put the link there?Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

Ew. It's like an ugly goiter attached to every post. It's even more visually irritating on the mobile version of the forum than it is on the desktop version.
"Hey, I don't use Facebook, but now that Vanilla put an ugly icon on the bottom of every single post, I'm going to start using it! Thanks Vanilla!"
-No one, ever.
Looks like other forums that use Vanilla are complaining about the same thing. This was likely a Vanilla software update that they rolled out, not something that Polk initiated. Hopefully once we get a moderator we can lobby for this "feature" to be switched off.

Facebook and Google are advertising companies. FB today has a market capitalization of $442 billion. Google about $409. How do these companies make their money, if FB and Google are “free” to use (Gmail is “free”, Chrome is “free”... and if you have an Android phone, you MUST have a Gmail address to use the phone)? Targeted advertising and profiling which can be sold to advertisers to make their advertising dollars more effective.
It’s easier to avoid FB or Google with iOS or Mac OS, which severely limits how much user specific tracking they can do, but then users explicitly allow them to circumvent some of those privacy safeguards if they install their specific apps (including FB Messenger, WhatsApp, Google maps or Chrome). Frequently, they are also getting access to your contacts (very obvious with LinkedIn). In fact, in a similar story from 2017, Apple discovered that Uber were tracking users even after they deleted the Uber app, and threatened to remove them entirely from the App Store.
This is another Interesting Article, from just two years ago, about Apple’s attempts to block tracking in Safari, and how all those sign-in options that allow you to use your FB or Google login (instead of creating a new one for your account), help keep the tracking always active.
Remember the saying, if the price is too good to be true, then it probably isn’t? If you’re getting something for free, then it probably isn’t!Alea jacta est! -

They're gettin' there. The 2020 election cycle may scuttle 'em completely.
