Does this mean the Facebook "like button" isn't needed any more to track us all?
For a bit more context, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_like_button#Tracking:
"Social network like buttons on websites other than their own are often used as web beacons to track user activities for targeted advertising such as behavioral targeting combined with personally identifiable information, and may be considered a breach of Internet privacy."
