I am trying to keep up with the 'like' button issue.
I am on facebook and think that I have tight security settings (but they change so often that it is hard to keep up). I haven't linked my FB account to my mumsnet account (at least not knowingly).
I am also on Mumsnet and tend to name change fairly often. I usually namechange after I think I have given enough identifying information out under each name, so I change to avoid being outed IRL.
I am a little confused by the mumsnet 'like' button. I understand that if I clicked it, it could show on my facebook page as something I like. But how does 'the internet' know to link to my facebook page?
Also, there seems to be some suggestion that if another mumsnetter clicks 'like' on MN, the thread she is on could get shown on the FB pages of other mumsnetters on that thread (even though they have not liked the thread). Is this the case??
Anyway while the debate continues about this (and I can see why it is causing so much concern), can anyone advise me as to how I can avoid my posts on MN being linked to my FB account.
Many thanks,
