Facebook could be investigated by the U.S. government over claims it is tracking users after they have logged out of the social networking site.
Reps Massachusetts Democrat Ed Markey and Texas Republican Joe Barton have both complained to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Their letter follows privacy fears over tracking cookies sparked by Australian blogger Nik Cubrilovic, who prompted a Facebook investigation.
Reps Markey and Barton have both been vigorously pursuing Facebook on privacy issues, reported the Los Angeles Times. ‘When users log out of Facebook, they are under the expectation that Facebook is no longer monitoring their activities,’ they wrote. ‘We believe this impression should be the reality.’
