    This is a poorly named post. It's not "logging" anything, in all likelihood this information is discarded immediately. This shows that the information is sent to facebooks server, but I'd bet money that it's simply the default behavior of their text box widget to use ajax-based 'autocomplete', with a null backend for things like this.

    This tirade against Facebook is starting to slip into hysteria.
