Facebook now claims to be “aggressively disabling” applications that say their purpose is to to allow you to see who is viewing your profile.

Among the applications that have now disappeared from the site are “Stalker Check”, and “Who has visited my profile”.

In a statement, Facebook said: “Don’t believe any applications that claim they can show you who’s viewing your profile or photo. They can’t.”

Most of the stalker applications are obviously geared towards generating cash for their designers, while there also remains the potential for victims to be directed to sites containing viruses and other malicious software.

So don’t be so easily fooled! Use your own discrimination, after all this is someone you don’t know, claiming to be able to you help you… spy on your friends when they visit your page…

If you don’t see the absurdity of the situation, are you really concerned about  privacy? Maybe the best thing to do is just watch out who you are choosing to be your friends on Facebook.
