Not siding with FB here, but their response appears to address this: > Contrary to claims by the New York Times, friends’ information, like photos, was only accessible on devices when people made a decision to share their information with those friends. Maybe the confusion is that FB isn't treating these integrations as "third parties" since they're supposed to be pseudo-official FB apps? Edit: Thinking about it further, this is the crux of the matter, isn't it? Whether or not an FB-approved "mobile experience" counts as an official FB app or a third-party app?
