After success of Facebook in social networking sites; Facebook applications have became spotlight for programmers and commercial users. Usually Facebook applications are making for business-related purpose. Majority of famous applications use advertisement while some get money from PayPal. Users have to pay online payment to use application. Majority of Facebook Applications are Totally Free.
Whenever Facebook users want to use application; “request of permission page” appears where they have to allow application. Most Facebook users don’t know what they have done by allowing that application. The Facebook User permits that application owner can access his basic information; means application owner can see Users profile picture, networks, user ID, gender and list of friends. The Facebook users also permit him to post any anything on their wall without any notification. See below the request for permission page of an application.

Their privacy and terms pages were broken and following message was appeared. “Oops! This link appears to be broken”. This shows how serious they are with privacy policy.
