Facebook has announced the release of Off-Facebook Activity, a tool that will let members see which apps and websites supply information about their online activity, and clear that information from their Facebook accounts if they wish. It will roll out initially to members in Ireland, South Korea and Spain. Once members have cleared their off-Facebook activity, Facebook will remove their identifying information from the data it collects. Facebook then will not know which websites members visited or what they did there.
