Pinterest Apps Posting to Facebook Wall Without Permission

Earlier today I had to do something that I don’t have to resort to very often, revoke the permission of a Facebook app I had previously authorized. I checked my Facebook timeline tonight, and discovered a slew of posts to my wall from Pinterest. Although I hadn’t used Pinterest in a few days, the posts were made since I last checked my Facebook wall this afternoon (in the last 6 hours).

In hindsight I wish I had screen capped some of the posts, but I was so upset my first and only thought was to delete the posts and revoke permission of the Pinterest app. It’s not that the content was vulgar or embarrassing, it was mainly pictures of landscape photography and various categories I had pinned things to recently. It’s really the principal behind the whole thing, even though I realize that I did authorize them to post without my permission.
