Beyond SocialCam, this feature of facebook is absolutely pathetic. I spent many hours trying to figure out why some mildly explicit story I read on HuffPo was showing up on my activity feed when my sister viewed my profile. The same activity did not appear when I viewed my profile.
What really upset me is that if I used the "View Profile As..." feature and picked my sister, the same item would not show up. As I tried to figure out to remove the item, I had to call my sister each time to see if it still appeared. Ultimately, I could not remove it even though I removed almost every possible app. More importantly, I lost faith in the "View Profile As..." feature. If it is not going to be accurate, it's better to just not have that feature.
I really hope facebook takes this privacy stuff way more serious than all other features. I can imagine a nightmare scenerio where an app with permission sells itself to a porn site which starts auto publishing shitty stories.
