Of course, but 5-6 years ago some of us were teens who had no idea about online privacy. It worries me to see how many application I used long time back had so much information about me.
- wil421 13y agoI realized the first time I clicked on a Facebook app and it automatically spammed my friends and my wall that FB apps were something I wouldnt be using. Not only because of privacy concerns but also because of spamming concerns.
- subverting 13y agoSo its fine if facebook is data mining everything but ahhhh freakout when some third party app has a smidge? Lol...
- sejje 13y agoI think the idea is more about being aware of it. And "a smidge" might be full access, more-or-less, to all the important stuff.
- Shish2k 13y agoFacebook has a reputation to uphold, so they won't do anything completely and obviously evil without slowly ramping up to it over several years first; third party apps can abuse all the data they want, get shut down, and then come back a week later with a new name.
- tracker1 13y agoI think what's far worse is what most applications ask for in terms of permissions... I mean, why does a "flashlight" app need access to my GPS position, contacts and sd storage? I've waded through lists of apps for simple things like that (note, it does need "camera" access to turn on the flash). I think that when apps register on the store, they should have to include at least 100 characters explaining why they need access for each special permission.
