Joseph Bonneau's article "How Privacy Fails: The Facebook Privacy Debacle" points to deeper application data sharing concerns with Facebook's enforcement.

These issues will make a great addition to awareness materials I'm preparing - while AllFacebook's 10 Privacy Settings are becoming more widely known, the risks of providing data to the whole host of quizzes, tests, and throwaway apps that populate Facebook are still largely unexplored by most users.
