So its fine if facebook is data mining everything but ahhhh freakout when some third party app has a smidge? Lol...

Facebook has a reputation to uphold, so they won't do anything completely and obviously evil without slowly ramping up to it over several years first; third party apps can abuse all the data they want, get shut down, and then come back a week later with a new name.

I think the idea is more about being aware of it.

And "a smidge" might be full access, more-or-less, to all the important stuff.
