Old Facebook Apps Still Plunder Your Privacy
tcd004 writes "If you added the YouTube Facebook app prior to 2009, you've given YouTube free access to nearly all the data in your profile (as well as many of your friends). But if you install the same app today, it gets very limited access. Older versions of Facebook apps, it turns out, still have 'grandfathered' access to data that the social networking service has restricted for new apps. If you're protective of your privacy, it might be a good idea to delete and reinstall any older apps in your profile."
Then, one profile, not connected in any to the above two, using a nickname or alias, and using a different E-mail address (preferably different domain), perhaps in a separate Web browser and sandbox. This profile is for fertilizing your donkey in Farmville and playing all the FB games
No, no, no, no, NO!
You must play Farmville on the account with all your friends who play Farmville, otherwise you won't do very well at all and they won't be able to know how awesome at Farmville you are and how committed you are that you set multiple alarms at night to go and "[fertilize] your donkey". That is the whole point of these games, if it wasn't for that you may as well be playing something like Crysis. Do you know anything about Farmville?
I dream of a nation where a man is not judged by his skin color but by an number assigned by a credit rating agency.
