Is there even an option for developers to use where you can use Facebook just for login, without requesting any additional permissions? That would be acceptable

This is why I still like OpenID (eg, log in with your Google account). I know they get nothing but my name and email address, they can't touch my account at all, and nothing is public.

- zevyoura 14y agoFrom Facebook's documentation: "When a user auths your app and you request no additional permissions, your application will have access to only the user's basic information. By default, this includes certain properties of the User object such as id, name, picture, gender, and their locale. Certain connections of the User object such as the Friends connection are also available. If the user has made more of their data public, more information will be available."
