I'm not sure if it's a bug (I'm using Chrome 20 beta, on Lion), but as soon as I've visited the Airtime landing page, my browser behaved automatically, as if I pressed the "Launch Airtime button" and I've instantly received a "Welcome to Airtime" email, even if I didn't accept their request of permissions.

I didn't have a look to the code, but I really hope this is just a bug and not a malicious use of Facebook authentication...

We would most certainly not do anything like that intentionally. The normal user flow is the standard facebook app authentication dialog that clearly lists all the permissions required for the site to work.
The same thing happened to me. Chrome 19 on Lion. Just visited the site and within seconds I had an email from you guys saying I had created an account, even though I didn't click anything. You should fix this ASAP.
Please send your facebook id to feedback@airtime.com to help us track this. Thank you!
I've just sent an email.
