> Didja look at those permissions? There’s zero reason for any website to have all that information about you just because you want to log in.

Again, those permissions are the _possible_ things a site or app can ask for. It’s plain incorrect that any FB Login using site automatically has access to all your profile data. Do you have an example of a news site requesting all of them? I wouldn’t even expect it to be possible, since many of the permissions require Facebook to review why the site needs the requested data before it will work.
