I have taken that step, but I doubt many other Facebook users will be willing to do so. I personally believe that the best response would be to spread the word to other users and get people interested in these issues. Facebook has responded to user concerns in the past over the News Feed and TOS update - if users actually got worked up about these issues, perhaps Facebook would take action. Ultimately, true solutions to the problems I've listed have to start with Facebook. @rodentvs: The only way to completely protect yourself, at this point, is to visit the Platform settings page ( http://www.facebook.com/privacy/?view=platform&tab=other ) and exempt your profile from the API.
