Your information on Facebook
Written on November 16th, 2009 by syamantThere is a reason I do not add any Facebook Application.
The reason is simple, they take too much of user data and provide very little in return. The concern then extends to what these unknown service providers do with this data. The concerns may be valid or not but it does not help matters when the provider of applications such as Farmville and Mafia Wars brag about their essentially illegal methods. You might want to read more about the latest in Facebook privacy .
If you are concerned about these applications , you can remove them by going to the Applications page and clicking on (x) on the right of the application you wish to remove.
You might also want to have a closer look at your privacy settings and see what is best for you. The following is a slightly stricter and restricted version of controlling what is visible to your connections and applications.
