The thing that bothers me is that we have to find out through OTHER sources except Facebook. It’s shady to say the least but it makes sense. If they announce it on the site nobody everyone is going to opt out, but it makes you wonder just what they can and will do in the future if this is how they operate.

My daughter was at a friend’s house, while using her friend’s facebook account she saw my picture with some ‘unkind words’ under it for a quiz.

This really upset my daughter and she called me right away as she felt it was hurtful to me. (bless her heart)

I have since then been an advocate of TURNING OFF the feature as noted above.

Prob with app ads is that they display pics of friends who have never used that app. Like my friend posted screenshot of IQ ad which labels his friends never used as dumb/genius. Those friends had not taken that IQ quiz at all…

I had my profile picture taken and used by one of those 3rd party applications for a ‘singles ad’ that was posted on a seperate site. Beware of those 3rd party apps. I have the highest security level set now and I refuse to use any of the 3rd party apps. I can live without accepting a cyber beer or playing a quiz to find out what band I should be etc… I also DO NOT play any of those games (Mafia wars, Farmtown etc..). Anything that I have to ‘allow’ a 3rd party to have access to my information is not going to be accepted. Not worth it.
