After all the hype and PR from Facebook about how much they value the privacy of your data, users of the site are still having their data collected and sold to advertisers and tracking companies without their permission.  A second investigation by the Wall Street Journal discovered that commercial companies can get hold of your private data and details.

Most of the most popular applications such as Farmville, Frontiersville and Texas Holdem Poker have been sending users identities to 3rd party organisations, with the estimates of tens of million user effected.  Facebook is due to disable this ability for the names app asap.
