That's why Facebook changed their APIs in 2014. Before any app could ask for anything. Now apps can only ask for public profile data, email address and a list of your friends that have also installed the app.
Before you could also get stuff like education and work history, family relationships, relationship status, sexual orientation and a whole load of other stuff that could potentially cause a lot of trouble. And people would happily click OK just to play FarmVille or whatever.
Now Facebook makes it so any app needing advanced permissions data has to be reviewed by Facebook first.
