Bit of a concern:
alot of people on my face book click on applications videos and agree on applications??? I did the same but am reluctant to let the application have my personal information.. Information like my personal picture/ birth-date/location email address? Should application be allowed to have this personal information and axcess to your profile?

The other question is!!!???? "MORE" What does that involve when you click on the application and allow it????




So i click on the video and get this????

Solution?
(1) Have real friends.
(2) Speak to them in person, or periodically phone, text or email your real friends

Facebook??

Is that like when you get arrested, taken to the cop shop and get clouted with a phone book because you did not give the copper the answer he wanted??

If you really need to watch that 'Snake eats security guard' video that is one of many being shared. Just Ytube it, i think all the shared vids are on Ytube anyway. So no need to sign up for sharing your info.
Same goes for written articles, they will be on the net somewhere other than where they want you to sign up for.

The company says 70% of users use apps each month

The apps reviewed by the Journal were sending Facebook ID numbers to at least 25 advertising and data firms, several of which build profiles of Internet users by tracking their online activities.

Defenders of online tracking argue that this kind of surveillance is benign because it is conducted anonymously. In this case, however, the Journal found that one data-gathering firm, RapLeaf Inc., had linked Facebook user ID information obtained from apps to its own database of Internet users, which it sells. RapLeaf also transmitted the Facebook IDs it obtained to a dozen other firms, the Journal found.

Hahaha..

And even better people that have never used said pointless website making comments about something they have no experience with.

As for the app, just deny sharing your details and change your privacy settings. And the data is used to put the little ads up at the side of your FB page.

Or you can just get another profile with dodgy info and use that for anything you don't want to have your own details.
