We've heard a few times that Facebook uses us (without our knowledge) to test what influences us. More than a million people changed their profile picture last week to support gay marriage, but were you actually supporting a Facebook study instead??

According to Daily Mail it was a Facebook test - psychological test.  If you recall the red equal signs in support of gay marriage in 2013? That was also a test. Facebook actually admitted that it was a study and published the results.

Facebook is denying these latest study claims. A spokesperson for the site told DailyMail.com: ‘This was not an experiment or test, but rather something that enables people to show their support of the LGBTQ community on Facebook." The spokesperson also said, "The point of this tool is not to get information about people." Although, the site has long been involved in research to better see how information spreads in a social network.
