Top Facebook Apps Violate Privacy Terms
cgriffin21 writes "No stranger to privacy concerns, Facebook is once again in the privacy spotlight, following a Wall Street Journal report that some popular Facebook applications leak personal information to advertisers. 'Many of the popular applications, or 'apps,' on the social-networking site Facebook Inc. have been transmitting identifying information — in effect, providing access to people's names and, in some cases, their friends' names — to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies,' according to The Wall Street Journal, which wrote about Facebook Sunday in the latest installment of its recent 'What They Know' series about advertising and the Internet."

If one must use failbook then they are obviously too fucking stupid to even exist let alone use a computer. . Failbook must be shut down so fucktards will fucking self destruct and the gene pool can be fucking cleansed.
The people affected deserve it. EVERY application on facebook wants ALL of your personal information before they will let you participate. Did people really think they needed all of that information before the cow clicky program could work? If they did then they are stupid and deserve their fate. You even get a nice warning before running the apps "you must agree to let this app rape all of your personal information to play cow clicker 5.0". Only an idiot would be surprised when that data is monetized. The collection of that data was probably the entire purpose of the "app".
