For those who can't/won't login to see this:
Facebook continues to make real-time improvements to its platform to protect people's data. We are making the following changes to maintain trust with people who use our products. These changes are never easy, but by focusing our efforts, we can put stronger protections in place to combat potential abuse. Please find a quick summary of these changes below:

User Node
The following User node fields will no longer return information: about, education, friendlists, interested_in, political, relationship_status, religion, website, work.
GET /user/groups and GET /me/groups - This edge no longer returns any fields that contain User identifying information. This applies to all app Users, even app Admins querying their own User ID.
App review required to use the following edges: GET /user/events and GET /me/events (apps with user_events permission granted will still require re-review)
