    All I can say is "oops!". I hope that they close this exploit/mistake soon - it sucks that hate groups can use Facebook to harrass people who are to all intents and purposes otherwise acting within the law.

First time I saw that check box saying “Allow this application to know who I am and access my information.” I immediately decided never to use the applications.
