Porn sites and social media links I'm wondering what you guys think of this... I notice an increasing trend on porn sites to include links to Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and even Pinterest on their sites. At the most basic level, the sites are hoping you will "like" them so your friends can see whatever porn sites you like. Of course this is probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard, since, you know,, our parents, our kids, sometimes our bosses or employees are linked to us through Facebook, Linked-in, Twitter, etc. But there is a slightly more complicated reason these links exist on all the porn sites. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest PAY these webmasters to include them as links. Why? Well.... Perhaps many of you have read that the links provide those sites, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. the ability to TRACK YOU! It is an extension of the cookie system. This is not an aggregate process. Any site that has a social media link is tracking YOU and where you go. The reason is to target you for marketing based on your likes. There is waaaay to much data moving around for anyone to actually track you individually (today), but the algorithms generate ads and suggestions when you go to these sites. It is the exact same system that keeps showing you that toaster you looked at on Amazon whenever you go to Weather.com or wherever. Ever notice that there are suggested groups to join along the right side in Facebook? Facebook does not allow nudity, but I noticed that some of the groups suggested for me, and I rarely use Facebook for anything, are a little more on the risque side. And Pinterest? That site does have nudity and somehow "pins I might like" includes some pretty interesting stuff that I'm certain would not show up there if Pinterest did not know the sites I've visited. I also get a small number of "friend requests" on Facebook (and, oddly, on Linked-in) that are pretty clearly escorts, but I am guessing that this is just some kind of targeted blast from someplace and, hopefully, not related to cookie tracking and porn site links. Yes, you can disable cookies, but then your browser wont keep your passwords. You can use incognito mode but, same thing, no passwords. Your virus scanner eliminates the most malicious tracking cookies, but these are usually not considered malicious. So, all that said, whether you believe tracking is happening or not, I'm curious. Has anyone ever actually "Liked" a porn site on Facebook, Twitter, etc. by clicking through the link on a porn site? Has anyone even liked a porn site on social media? And has anyone else noticed the subtle recommendations that imply that these sites know where you've been? I'm not a conspiracy theorist and frankly, I don't care enough about any of this to be concerned, but I am curious. Your thoughts? Skippy Edited on Feb 19, 2018, 03:37pm | |

You can often check out the social media accounts without being signed into your account. Granted, if you have the option to stay signed in or automatically sign in, you may find yourself opening the link with your account. I guess that in my mind privacy is dead, but also SPAM reigns supreme. I think that if anyone noticed any porn-related activity on an account, I would just claim ignorance and say I clicked something accidentally. I also get friend requests from escorts/cam girl/porn performers, but I figure some of that probably has to do with being male rather than anything being tracked. | |
