What about localization info such as language?
Are all apps switching to 100% US English? Are they supposed to guess a users language from their name and email?
My guess (and this is just a guess) is that the users preferred language is already considered “public” on the graph so perhaps apps don’t need special permission to access it.
If that’s the case, this statement is doing a bit of misdirection by calling out name and profile photo, instead of saying “we will only give your email address plus other information we deem public”
