By way of stonedtodeath:

Anyone heard of Facebook's Beacon spyware program? LJ's on the list of partnered sites.

What the heck is this? And is it something to be concerned about? I'm kinda confuzzled.

I guess LJ's already put out instructions in the FAQ for blocking yourself from it so the data collection doesn't see you. And LJ's never lied to us, screwed up anything technical, or engaged in wishful thinking about the faciilty and honesty of the people that work for them, so I feel PERFECTLY SAFE NOW.
