The mobile privacy model is broken. I should be able to install Facebook without giving permissions they don't need. Every 2-bit app doesn't need to access my contacts and all my messaging history.
Until then, will not install Facebook app, and will limit apps to companies I trust or apps I can't live without.
Facebook is a silly place too, but that's whole 'nother story.
I am not sure how much it helps maintain privacy, but I advise non-tech friends to choose one web browser (either Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.) to use for just Facebook, Google, and Twitter use. Choose another web browser with a privacy plugin for use for all other use of the web.
I think apps having permission to access private data on our devices is such bullshit, and allowing them to post messages in our names, etc. transcends bullshit.
Until then, will not install Facebook app, and will limit apps to companies I trust or apps I can't live without.
