Facebook Re-Enables Controversial Tracking Cookie
It is the first cookie that is set, for all users of Facebook, and right now is being set for everybody on any Facebook integrated site - logged in or not logged in.The recent EU vs Facebook revelations about the data that Facebook stores for each users gave an interesting insight into the
datr cookie. Below is a screenshot of some data from a user who retrieved their information using Europe vs Facebook. It shows machine ID's that were used to access that account, and the other accounts associated with that machine id.Ashkan has again submitted a bug report to Facebook about the
datr cookie. We hope it is disabled again promptly. If this cookie was re-enabled accidently, it would be good to know how such a thing can happen. If it was enabled intentionally, despite all previous statements about third-party cookies being set, then a statement on why would be appropriate.Facebook keep the data collected for up to 90 days and then delete it. I believe them when they say this and that they are not hiding anything, but I also believe that our definitions of tracking differ. If you set a cookie on a users machine from one website, and then read that cookie from that persons machine from another website, that is tracking.

House GOP Targeting Title X In Push To Axe Family Planning Programs
- Title X, the federal family planning grant that funds birth control and preventative health services for more than five million low-income people annually, saves U.S. taxpayers massive amounts of money in Medicaid costs, but GOP lawmakers are trying to axe the program for the second time this year in the name of slashing the deficit.

White House Foreclosure Prevention Program Had Minimal Oversight
Documents obtained by ProPublica — government audit reports of GMAC, the country’s fifth-largest mortgage servicer — provide the first detailed look at the program’s oversight. They show that the company operated with almost no oversight for the program’s first eight months. When auditors did finally conduct a major review more than a year into the program, they found that GMAC had seriously mishandled many loan modifications
The documents obtained by ProPublica show auditors finding serious problems at a major servicer during that time. Instead of publicly revealing the findings, Treasury chose to privately request that GMAC fix the problems.“For two years, they’ve known how abysmal servicers were performing, and decided to do nothing,” said Neil Barofsky, the former special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, better known as TARP or the bank bailout, which provided the money for HAMP.
“It demonstrates that if you have a set of rules for which compliance is completely voluntary and no meaningful consequences for those who violate them, having all the audits and reviews in the world are not going to make a bit of difference,” he continued. “It’s why the program has been a colossal failure.”
