Except that doesn't quite work. Here's what I see on that page:

Privacy Settings for External Websites
Back to Privacy Overview without saving changes.
Show your friends what you like and what you're up to outside of Facebook. When you take actions on the sites listed below, you can choose to have those actions sent to your profile.

Please note that these settings only affect notifications on Facebook. You will still be notified on affiliate websites when they send stories to Facebook. You will be able to decline individual stories at that time.

No sites have tried sending stories to your profile


There is no option to actually turn this off. Perhaps external sites need to have already "sent stories" before I can go back and turn them off? Can anyone who's already triggered this behavior confirm that you can turn off stories en masse, or do you have to do it on a case-by-case basis forever?
