   that's not FB picking up on it if you are watching them on FB... it is FB   
   telling YT that you watched them and YT's algorithm taking it from there... if   
   the videos you watch on FB are hosted on YT, FB may not be doing anything   
   since YT is already noting your connection and the video to use in the   
   algorithm...

   Do you manage your own servers? If you are not running an IDS/IPS yer doin' it   
   wrong...
