Published on December 18, 2019, Facebook has made a statement that has left many users concerned about their privacy. According to the social media giant, it can locate users who opt out of tracking, despite their efforts to remain anonymous.

The news comes as a shock to many, who had thought that opting out of tracking would mean that their online activities would remain private. However, it appears that Facebook has found a way to circumvent this and still gather data on its users.

Facebook's statement has sparked a heated debate about user privacy and the extent to which companies can collect data on their users. While some argue that Facebook has a right to collect data on its users, others believe that this is a clear invasion of privacy.

The issue has raised questions about the effectiveness of data protection laws and whether they are sufficient to protect users' rights. As the debate continues, one thing is clear: Facebook's ability to locate users who opt out of tracking has significant implications for user privacy.
