I make it a point not to install any facebook apps. I don't need them, or want the extra functionality that they provide, and I don't want my info being shared with an outside app. I use facebook so my family members know what's going on with myself and my wife and kids, and to keep in touch with old friends.
- kevingadd 17y agoMaybe you didn't read the linked article - it points out that applications installed by other people can access a lot of your data directly without your permission, because you shared it with those people and they installed the app. I personally didn't realize how much information it supported sharing automatically, so I just went to FB and found the control panel and turned most of that off.
- megamark16 17y agoYes, I did read the article, and what I meant was that I don't install any of those apps both to protect myself and all of my friends. I agree with you that it is pretty scary how much info is being shared automatically.
