If you guys have been following Facebook’s Plan To Automatically Share Your Data With Sites You Never Signed Up For then you probably wondered who the 'partners' would be:
"In the proposed privacy policy, we’ve also explained the possibility of working with some partner websites that we pre-approve to offer a more personalized experience at the moment you visit the site. In such instances, we would only introduce this feature with a small, select group of partners and we would also offer new controls."
Check this out.. log into Facebook, then go to Techcrunch (in another tab or whatever), go to the bottom to comment on an article. It shows that I'm logged in, like via Facebook Connect. However, now I only see a "logout" link near the Facebook logo. When I click that, I get a Facebook dialog saying "You will be logged out of both Techcrunch and Faceook." After a moment the page refreshes and sure enough, I'm logged out of both.
Not sure if this is being tested or is active for everyone, so if it doesn't work for you yet don't blow up the thread.
This will certainly have some interesting effects. Discuss.
