It’s not just Facebook, right, why do Fandango and the other sites share the info without notifying the user?
Fine, you can opt out of displaying your purchase for all to see on Facebook, but what other sites is Fandango selling your info to?

Lekhni, true. But Fandango is just doing what is best for its bottomline but Facebook is offering a secure private social networking environment for its users. After all, it is Facebook’s News Feed that is pushing ads into our faces.
