for the power users among us, this is true - but for the 90% of users who don’t think twice before clicking facebook connect or those who don’t have privacy lists setup properly, this is the type of reminder that might just get them thinking.

umm I suppose, because I have come across people who have their profile open for public.

@NomiCA

hehe…its a good one…i figured one more thing.
there are loads of apps we tend to allow (like the lollipop one) but they aren’t on your main page..

and this sneaky lollipop itself will remain there…unless you remove it …

they are on this page http://www.facebook.com/#!/settings/?tab=applications …so i deleted about 30 apps Others should too

Thanks for the link nomi! I forgot to remove it last night but in the past I have deleted all apps I used and they weren’t very many.

@Murgi

Can someone tell me how to delete this app now? I mean I’ve looked everywhere on my FB settings to find out exactly where this app is but it’s no where to be found. I know I didn’t delete it. So don’t see how safe this app is if I can’t even remove it.

However, coming back to the app, all apps have access to your walls, pictures etc. It’s a flaw in FB’s own privacy settings, not something that we allow/don’t allow. If you want to use that app, you have to unfortunately give access to these platforms. But I know for sure that people I don’t want to give access to my information, they don’t have that access. Similarly, all this app was showing me was pictures I’m tagged in, not pictures I’ve uploaded myself. Again, it’s something in FB that allows the uploader to share the tags of friends to friends.

That’s exactly why I dislike apps and either remove them asap or avoid using them.
