A recipe for the deliberately obscured task of changing your Facebook settings to opt out of “platform” sharing

mostlysignssomeportents:

With news that Facebook shows all your friends’ data to companies
when you interact with their Facebook apps, many people are interested
in figuring out how to turn that setting off in their Facebook
dashboards.

This is needlessly complex, because of course it is.

EFF’s Gennie Gebhart has written up a howto explaining, step-by-step,
how to undo this setting that a) shouldn’t exist and b) shouldn’t be on
by default and c) should be one click to turn off.

Or, if you want to streamline the process, just delete Facebook. You know that they’ll eventually do something terrible enough to warrant it.
