Does this depth of intrusion concern Facebook users? It would worry me - which is why I don't use it.

It is wrong that some folk have an attitude of, "If you want this reasonable function you have to accept these unreasonable demands we're making or go without". Immoral behaviour.
Could be fixed in the OS allowed one to deny permissions after loading, on an app by app basis. If the app still works then that'd be a fair work around.

The trouble with FB is that you're on it whether you like it or not thanks to people you know who are.
You can bet there are friends and acquaintances of yours posting photographs of you all over the internet as we write. 'Photo of me and @Naomi eating Jam sandwiches'..'here's a clip of @Naomi falling down drunk in selfridges! #whataplonker' etc etc. It annoys the living s*t out of me, but there's very little you can do to control it.

What is morally wrong, and should be legally too, is the dangling of a desired app in front of people and then demanding they give personal data the author has no right to as the price. Especially knowing a proportion won't analyse what they are allowing. It is the downloader's device and data, they should be in control of what is done on their device.
I care about the atmosphere/environment of the culture I am in. When folk accept that which should be unacceptable then it creeps into everything else, and a new level of abusing the citizen is seen as the norm. And every company or authority jumps on the bandwagon saying (tongue in cheek) that they can't see what the problem is. It is all wrong and should be stood up to.
What do you think of this App, OG? Allows you, me and everyone to check the tax and MOT status of any and every UK registered vehicle

I'll look at it in a while, but the fact is that the information is already available on your PC via the Internet. In this case the convenience for folk to check their own information was presumably deemed worth the inability to stop others; and a judgement call made. It's not ideal, it would set a precedent (although I suspect there are other things that already did that) but car tax and MOT isn't that personal though. Authorities should keep track of how much is being made public and the nature of what is.
