Facebook App - picdoodle: Watch Out everybody!
I'm quite pissed at the moment with this application. I received a message saying someone tagged me in a picture a few days ago. I went to look, but couldn't see anything, so I thought maybe it was because I didn't install the application, which I then did. I still couldn't see the picture though, and came to the conclusion that the app was faulty. I made sure that I didn't send anyone the application because I hate sending out weird stuff like this. Well today I received a couple of messages telling me that people couldn't see the pictures that I had tagged of them. PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T TAG, DIDN'T UPLOAD, AND SPECIFICALLY TOLD THE APPLICATION THAT IT COUDLN'T SPAM MY FRIEND LIST. And still it randomly tagged a bunch of people, who then downloaded the application and spammed other people.
I went to check it out, and according to several reports, the application was supposed to have been fixed already, but wasn't. I also untagged my pictures, deleted all the tags from the ones I sent out, deleted the application, went to the page and reported it, and sent out messages to everyone. (This is on my irl facebook account, so don't worry about it because you haven't received my message or a tagged picture from me.) I don't believe I'm the first person to report this, but I'm pissed that facebook hasn't done anything about it, and the application is still being allowed to continue the spamming.
According to this article, the issue should have been fixed, but I know for sure that a couple of people including myself were still spamming others yesterday and today. I don't believe it's not possible for facebook to take down this application, and it's pissing me off and scaring me that this application can just access my friends list and tag people, and when they install this app to see the non-existant picture they were tagged in, they continue to spam people. Everybody should watch out for this application, report it if possible, and send it out to your friends and family. The article also reports that this is not really a threat or phishing or virus, but I still find the answer scary.
