Facebook will give application developers access to your email addresses. Does that worry you?

Facebook has just announced that developers on their platform will be given access to their users email addresses.
The goal is to create a more ‘open’ Facebook and let developers feel their users/customers are actually their own, rather than just Facebook’s. The consequences of such a move however are substantial.
Whenever a user ‘installs’ an application, the developer is handed their email address along with first name and last name. This will not be optional, therefore users are going to have to accept that developers will be able to store all these details for use on that application as well as for future use.
We’re updating. More info coming.
