Apps will no longer have carte blanche to Facebook user data, the company’s Chief Technology Officer Mike Schroepfer wrote in a blog post today.

The announcement is Facebook’s latest promise to take its users’ security more seriously. Just weeks ago, it was revealed that secretive data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica harvested millions of Facebook users’ information. The number of people affected has since ratcheted up to 87 million users—the “maximum amount of people” that Facebook was able to calculate, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said on a press call today.
