The new Facebook API exposes the events that some users attend to anyone on the Internet.

To protect your privacy, mark your events "Not Attending".
Update (06:00 PDT): So far, some people have reported that their events are exposed, and some have reported that they aren't. I don't have an explanation. I've sent a note to Facebook asking them not to expose events this way.

Update (13:00 PDT): theharmonyguy commented that event lists were already

I've never used any events so that is empty for me. But it doe shave my 2 "likes" - pages I like to see in my news feed sometime. I may have to unlike them. Thanks for the tool.

hmm my private info is still private it's currently only showing the public info anyone can see my events don't show up

[dymaxion]

I don't believe it's showing my events. I currently have at least one open event that I'm attending, and it returns no data for my event list. The only things it returns are my name, picture, object class, time zone, id, and most recent update timestamp.

Hmm! Thanks for checking. Perhaps this is more complicated than I thought.

Same!

It's showing all my events. I'm cross, because my whereabouts is the main thing I want to keep private.

[pseudomonas]

I can't see the events of anyone else, though, it seems.

[pseudomonas]

no, I take that back, I can see the events of zestyping

[zestyping]

I haven't added you as a friend on Facebook, have I?

[fanlain]

It's not showing my events though I don't remember if I've ever checked any as attending. hukuma it returns data for so I forwarded to him to see if he's ok with that. Oh just searching for his name returned all with his same name. But searching for just his email gets to just him and not much is showing. Probably b/c we don't live in the Bay area anymore so we don't get invited to events via Facebook as much?

Yes, the events I marked "Attending" or "Maybe Attending" are visible using the API tool, despite stringent privacy settings. That's bothersome!
