These authorisations might be acting as a filter. Being an app developer and someone who's read a lot about FB, I'm very wary of authorising anything, whereas someone who's less informed won't give it a second thought.

Basically, these filters are only funnelling people to the website who are more likely to click on ads and fall for scams.
