Please note, when I visited docs.com the app was automatically authorized to have access to my Facebook profile. I had to find the app under my Facebook App settings and remove it manually to deauthorize it. So, Facebook 3rd party partners do not need permission from the user to access the information?
- budwin 17y agoThis is Facebook's "instant personalization" feature that just launched. You can disable it in the privacy settings/applications. (it's opt out).
- mikepurvis 17y agoIt only shares information that you've made public anyway. Which if you're me is none of it. So it's still giving them at the very least a name, which is sketchy, but it's not as bad as it could be.
- mustpax 17y agoThanks for the heads up, I'm definitely opting out. From the blurb that was presented when I tried to opt out: "Please keep in mind that if you opt out, your friends may still share public Facebook information about you to personalize their experience on these partner sites unless you block the application." Basically there's no way of preventing "select Facebook partners" from having access to my profile.
