Facebook APP privacy loopholes can damage your public reputation

I posted this on Facebook today.

WARNING about using FB apps: Recently three well known public personalities in Lake County have signed up for Facebook apps which then posted on my Wall (and I assume all their friends) 1) what music (every song) one person was listening to (Spotify app) during work hours, and 2) that two others TODAY read an article using the Washington Post "Social Reader" app titled "4 Things you do that kill her sex drive". (For real). Facebook and their apps don't care about your reputation or privacy, so don't use ANY Facebook app without completely understanding what they will tell others about your activities on the internet when you use their app. The same goes for Google. AND, don't use the Facebook login on a website, because then they collect and might post whatever you looked at on another website., or you will see ads on your website for something you don't want showing on your page. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PRIVACY OR DAMAGING YOUR PERSONAL REPUTATION. Be sure to restrict all privacy "connections" between Facebook and any other site, or your actions on Facebook could show up in an ad when you view another website.

This also means that if you see something like the above postings about someone else, take it with a grain of salt, but let them know so they can dump the app or disable the privacy loophole.

Google is not as bad as Facebook.  Facebook's founder is still a juvenile and doesn't care about personal reputations or privacy.  Remember, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg's very first application was a system to rate how hot women on a college campus were, and make the data available to everyone.  He is a juvenile and Facebook is juvenile about privacy and personal reputation management.
