Hi forapurpose. I don't want to minimize the problems with Facebook and its practices around data. On the contrary I'm quite critical and skeptical of them. However, right now I'm trying to get to the bottom of this particular issue which has just come up in the news. This issue seems to be about particular APIs that Facebook gave to certain partners. As I understand it, the partners don't get any data until a user gives them their username and password, for instance by typing it into that third party's app. Now in my opinion, if a user is already trusting that third party with their entire Facebook account, then everything else is a secondary issue. It is primarily a trust relationship that the user themself has established with that third party. Again, I'm just focusing on this issue at hand. I'm not saying this is a more important issue than Facebook's general data practices or anything like that.
