Facebook apps essentially knit themselves into the Facebook ecosystem for free, almost instantly enjoying the imprimatur and reach of the world’s biggest social networking company.

That’s like running your own servers in your own server room, but leaving the server room door unlocked with a big sign on it saying, “Free admission. Please don’t be naughty.”
In fact, it’s like copying critical data from your own servers onto a whole boxful of unencrypted USB drives and walking round a Dark Web convention handing them out to all and sundry.
