I think "giving information about friends" is kind of a stretch. Facebook has that information. Clicking something so Facebook does something with it isn't quite the same as, say, entering all that info into a text field. Maybe it is legally, but morally, from a commen sense perspective, FB gives the info out. Allowing API access is giving info. We all know how servers work. You can't "take" something, it always gets sent.
- patejam 8y agoThat's why I said "very easily". I'm not saying it's necessarily the friend's fault, but the trigger is one of your friends clicking "Accept" on one of these apps. I'm also just clarifying what happened, because people don't seem to understand how any of it works. "Facebook sells your data" is very far from reality, and yet the reality can be considered just as bad.
