How a cow-clicking parody game harvested Facebook user data

Facebook has never respected the privacy of those who are in its database. Heck, it all started with Zuckerberg harvesting the data from Harvard’s student face book without getting the permission of the university or the students.

It did, as did every other FB app at the time. The FB app framework turned any FB app into a data harvester whether or not the creator wanted or needed the data, and the data went to the creator who could store it forever on his server and do with it what he liked.
