Facebook is in trouble again - this time from the Belgian privacy commission, which is cross about the fact that it tracks internet users who are not members of the social network.
A court has ruled that it is unacceptable that every time someone clicks a "like" button on a website, their browsing activity is collected, regardless of whether they are Facebook users or not.
Facebook says it would weaken the security of its 1.5 billion members to remove the tool.
What's it all about?
The controversy centres around a cookie - a simple text file which can track a number of user activities - which Facebook has used for the last five years.
Researchers found that even non-members who visited any net page that fell under the
facebook.com domain would have what Facebook calls its datr cookie - which has a two-year lifespan - installed on their browser.
