Privacy be damned cries Facebook!  In the latest scandal involving Facebook user's personal information being made public, Facebook has removed some popular gaming apps that have been taking user's account information even if your profile information is set to have the highest level of security possible.

Farmville, Texas Hold 'Em Poker, and Frontierville are just 3 of the apps that have been mentioned in the privacy breech that is affecting millions of users across Facebook.  Several apps have already being made unavailable to Facebook users as Facebook tries to sort out another privacy breech mess.

Zynga, who is the company behind Farmville, Texas Hold 'Em Poker, and Frontierville had the following to say regarding the scandal.

"Zynga has a strict policy of not passing personally identifiable information to any third parties. We look forward to working with Facebook to refine how web technologies work to keep people in control of their information."

Unfortunately for millions of users who use these Facebook apps daily, that message might be to little too late.
