I thought this was already known? o_o
Every application you put on Facebook essentially asks you to allow access to your profile and your information anyway, now they're just publicizing it.
I'm sure Google+ does the same thing, but a lot less low key.

Zuck: People just submitted it.
Zuck: I don't know why.
Zuck: They "trust me"
Zuck: Dumb f'ucks.

Don't they just use Cookies? I never allow them at all, and always delete them. I also block facebook related stuff unless I am on the main site itself.
