I wish there was a data audit log for your account. I'd like to be able to check which companies accessed what part of my data, when, and for what purpose. If I noticed something I didn't like, I could revoke permissions. If I noticed something that seemed very shady, e.g. Spotify editing my private messages, I could start an escalation. This seems like a good way to move the burden of auditing partners onto the users for Facebook to me. Make application fill in information about why they call specific operations, make those operations and reasons available in an audit log that any user can review.

It’s been available pretty much since the first f8 in 2008, so ten years ago: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=applications

  That just shows which apps have which permissions. I think what is desired is a log of date and times the app accessed specific bits of data. For example, do they poll every day and hoover up all of your recent data for everything they have access to, or do they only take just what they need for the task at hand?
