Thanks for that. After reading this I dug through their FAQ and found that the only way to prevent your friends from sharing your info with these apps is to block each individual app that Fb is a "partner" with. Right now that's apparently just Microsoft Docs, Pandora and Yelp! but I assume they'll add more (and consequently make the users check the list regularly and manually block the apps to prevent their friends from sharing their information).
This shit should seriously be illegal.

It did say that it would only be sharing information you have set to "public" anyway, so if you have your stuff set to private (or even "friends only") I don't
think it would be shared. I could be reading it wrong, but that's what I took from it.
