Stealth installs and adware come to Facebook
Found on The R egister on Wednesday, 05 May 2010
Facebook was outted on Thursday as a distributor of unwanted applications, some of which install adware or are added to user profiles without permission.
As noted earlier by PC World, the social networking site silently adds apps to profiles whenever a user is logged in and browses to certain sites. Facebook displays no dialogue box or notification window asking permission, and there is no easy way to opt out of the process.
I wonder when this Failbook will finally crumble and vanish. It's messing too much with the once promised privacy.
