Security adviser accuses Facebook of playing 'five subtle tricks' to confuse users over their privacy settings


Facebook's security has long been one of the most high-profile issues facing the social networking site.
The company's biggest public relations problems have all revolved around security, with Facebook re-designs and re-configured privacy pages often treated with suspicion by users who believe the site wants to glean as much personal information as possible.
Now a security adviser has listed five steps which he believes pushes users into accepting app requests without thinking too closely about which information they give away.

Have they already started using that as of today? Because I don't trust in these apps at all!

Thanks again for bringing the news, Karl :)

Boy am I glad I don't use facebook apps any more. Who even plays those games anyway?

[Infidelitas]

Facebook apps are shit anyway.

[Laserturtle]

I think a lot of people are turning to forums (yay), because Facebook has a number of issues with it. I personally deleted my account about two years ago, and haven't reconsidered it once

[Princess Ariel]

Facebook apps are shit anyway.

[Jackerlus]

Ugh, I'm going insane from those frickin app requests... >.<

[Incompris]

Facebook apps are shit anyway.
yes, yes they are

[dyliwilli123]

I hate all those apps on Facebook, don't trust em.

[HowlingSnail]

I never use apps anyway. They're annoying and I've blocked most of them from posting on my wall.

[CyanideGoodnight]

I personally think facebook itself is shit. Outside of being able to contact other people I can't by phone for whatever reason it's pretty much useless

I hardly ever use Facebook apps, just Spotify. Not only are most of them rubbish, but they're just another way that Facebook exploits your information as that article proves.
