Facebook Click Identifier

[hubcapsc]

So, the valkyrie genealogy pdf document is online on hubcapsc.com...

I've noticed a new thing as I flip through my webserver's logs...

23.121.207.222 "GET /valkyrie_genealogy.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1xWstpvINPzzVIHK92nccWJI40fSrRSVGceDacCyW-gPXNIUrMEh-T24M 200

what the heck is fbclid=allthatotherstuff?

It's a cryptographic Facebook Click Identifier tag. I guess whoever it
was that was looking at the pdf document came through facebook or
is a facebook user and now is somehow uniquely tagged as such.

/valkyrie_genealogy.pdf

and

/valkyrie_genealogy.pdf?anything you want to put here

are both functionally equivalent.

hubcapsc.com is my virtual host in the google cloud.

Its crazy how many things you can do through FB, you can make calls, you can see if someone is online, you can search products etc.
Its getting a little creepy knowing that it keeps track of you outside of the FB world, but I guess google does the same thing.

There's some google tracking thing going on with the VRCC page...

www.google-analytics.com

and

pagead2.googlesyndication.com

are watching me right now  ... it probably helps support the
site somehow...

Run a script blocker and you control goog.. only to a point, of course.. goog is a ubiquitous spy machine, as are fb and others. They are embedded like parasites.
