I got that note as well but it's B.S.

The permissions are for third party applications, things like "superpoke" or "Graffiti". Basically, by leaving those permissions enabled you are saying If you OR your friends subscribe to those applications you will allow the application to access that information.

The trouble you run into is that you are being asked to trust that your friends understand enough about privacy to know what third party applications they are installing and allowing to access their info as well as your own.

It makes sense to me to uncheck them all anyways like the note suggests, but it isn't anything as sinister as facebook selling your identity.

Awww, crap. I love a good scandal. Guess I'll have to go read the war threads instead....:wink:

It's a BS scandal, and has already been addressed by Facebook. If you look, those options aren't even available ;) Just someone trying to make a scene for a free product!

Oh I'm too slow on the response - but anyway, yeah - bunch of hooey of people trying to find flaws in a wicked cool service :P

Hooey, huh? What's the definition on that? lol....:wink:
