Facebook states that the SocialThing application has been blocked due to a violation in the privacy policy. Also, my personal facebook account has been disabled. Is this because I was using the application?
Congratulations about Socialthing! I really like it... The best advantage for me is that we don't need to search for friends again!!
I don't know if this is valid but if it is then Socialthing may face several issues with privacy of Facebook users. I explain:
Some of my friends have their profiles-photos etc visible only to their friends. If such a friend post new pictures then I see them in my Socialthing Friendstream...So if I permit facebook updates to appear even only to my facebook friends in Socialthing then they will be able to see the private photos of a friend of mine that they are not friends with! Is that correct ? If yes it can lead to various problems!
Please would you tell me whether Facebook users who are included on the Facebook "Limited Profile" list are considered to be "Friends on the Facebook service" within SocialThing?
I ask because I have my status updates on Facebook visible only to users who are not on my Limited Profile. If those users join SocialThing, they will see information that I have configured to be protected in my Facebook settings. This may also apply to posted items or other Facebook activity.
I posted some private photos to Flickr today and they show up on my lifestream? Are these shown to anyone else? What are they doing there in the first place?
My twitter direct messages remain private, right? In my lifestream, they are visible but another colour. I'd want some clear notification that I'm the only person who's going to see them.
