Yours purchases made public

Users of Facebook are fairly angry as they have noticed a little box that has appeared on the browser which tracks some of their online purchases, the box initially has a warning stating that their information is going to be shared with other Facebook users, but as it only lasts a short while some users are missing it and their purchases are there for all to see.

This has the potential to spoil any surprises should a partner see your page or could even have serious consequences should your partner see that you have bought something for someone else, but that is another issue.

There are some issues here as you would have no control of what is put on there and there could be some really personal things that the whole world can see, great!
