Maybe your like me and you hate Facebook quizes. Then again, maybe your one of the people that send them to my wall. There is only one thing I dislike more than facebook quizes, and that is status updates from the stupid facebook games people play. Well, there is a reason for both of us to hate them. First, to truly understand the veracity of this violation, click here and go to this cute little quiz by selecting "run application".
Ok... so I am assuming you did that. Obviously what you want to do now is go to your privacy settings and chance what applications have access too... it is kind of scary that corporations are getting information by using programs like these on Facebook. You don't even have to be using the program like Farmville or Mafia on Facebook for corporations to get your information. If one of your Facebook friends plays the game,that sends both yours and their personal information to the application provider.

Go here to configure your application security settings:

The first thing I did when the new security system came out on Facebook was go through each setting and disable a ton of the options. I have my facebook locked down so much people can't search me unless they're a friend of a friend...and even then they can only see my name, photo, and very brief info.
It's those who are not so Facebook (or computer) adept as you googler that has me concerned. Thanks for the link and appreciate the comments.
