So if this concerns you (it should), I would say the best way to foil these is to use dynamic filtering. Here are the rules, which will block all these 3rd-parties, except when used as 1st-party:

* facebook.net * block
* googletagservices.com * block
* twitter.com * block

twitter.com twitter.com * noop
