>      Facebook confirms to TechCrunch that it's investigating a
>    security research report that shows Facebook user data can be
>    grabbed by third-party JavaScript trackers embedded on
>    websites using Login With Facebook. The exploit lets these
>    trackers gather a user's data including name, email address,
>    age range, gender, locale, and profile photo depending on what
>    users originally provided to the website.  It's unclear what
>    these trackers do with the data, but many of their parent
>    companies including Tealium, AudienceStream, Lytics, and ProPS
>    sell publisher monetization services based on collected user
>    data.
