"As of last week, Facebook started  releasing messages that users would soon not be able to continue using Messenger straight from the Facebook app. They would have to download the separate app to use that feature.  The app itself isn&amp;#039;t new, so why are people panicking, even though they&amp;#039;ve agreed to the terms already? Back in December 2013, Sam Fiorella, a blogger for The Huffington Post, compiled the &amp;quot;most aggressive app permission[s].&amp;quot; Now the list is getting tons of attention as Facebook forces users over to Messenger. Here are some of the most ominous-sounding Facebook Messenger terms that Fiorella lists in his post:  Allows the app to call phone numbers without your intervention. This may result in unexpected charges or calls. Malicious apps may cost you money by making calls without your confirmation.   Allows the app to take pictures and videos with the camera. This permission allows the app to use the camera at any time without your confirmation.   Allows the app to read you phone&amp;#039;s call log, including data about incoming and outgoing calls. This permission allows apps to save your call log data, and malicious apps may share call log data without your knowledge.   According to Caitlin Dewey at the Washington Post, these terms are nothing you haven&amp;#039;t agreed to before. Most apps request permissions similar to these ones. And yet it&amp;#039;s enough to make you wonder what you gave Kim Kardashian permission to do with your selfies. Follow Tess on  Twitter. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
