Nobody reads TOS.

Car analogy: leaving you car in a bad neighborhood, unlocked, key in the ignition, door open, with a "do not steal or we will send you a threatening letter demanding our car back" note.

To the GP's point, the fact that Facebook has stated recently that it will reduce the information provided to third party apps shows that there was still a bigger leak than it cared to admit all along.

Hrm, okay. I'll follow it, but it feels like a "don't ask, don't tell" thing at the moment. Where FB reaped benefits while pretending to be vigilant.

I'm not defending what happened, I'm just encouraging people to get their facts straight.
