Facebook lets third-party apps abuse your private, personal data and the private, personal data of your friends. To stop it, you have to remove those apps from Facebook.
Facebook login makes it feel like less of a hassle to sign into apps, games, and services. But when you use Facebook to log in, Facebook gives those apps access to your data — a lot of your data. Worse, Facebook gives those apps access to the date of your friends, even if those friends haven't downloaded the app or consented in any way.
To prevent it, you have to prevent those apps from accessing your Facebook account. If it's too late for that, you have to delete them from Facebook so they can't keep accessing it.
Here's how.
