Also take a look at the article at the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

  • Account > Privacy > Applications > (scroll to bottom) Instant Personalization
  • When you try to uncheck the box, you are asked “Are You Sure?” Click the final link “Learn More”
  • Scroll to the bottom of the SECOND section “How do I block… my public info my friends share?”
