5 Design Tricks Facebook Uses To Affect Your Privacy Decisions

Do you know how many apps access your personal information on Facebook??Check your Facebook apps permissions and get ready for a surprise. In fact, Facebook keeps "improving" their design so that more of us will add apps on Facebook without realizing we're granting those apps (and their creators) access to our personal information. After all, this access to our information and identity is the currency Facebook is trading in and what is driving its stock up or down. It should be no surprise that in the new App Center Facebook made another leap forward in their efforts to get you to expose your personal info without realizing you're doing so. #1: The Single Button Trick In the old design Facebook used two buttons - "Allow" and "Don't Allow" - which automatically led you to make a decision. In the new App Center Facebook chose to use a single button. No confirmation, no decisions to make. One click and, boom, your done! Your information was passed on to the app developers and you never even notice it.
