This has now been resolved in v2.0 of the Graph API, whereby calling /me/friends only returns the person's friends who are using the same app, i.e. you can no longer access a list of non-app-using friends.

Looks like the inviting crap has its dedicated API now (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/v2....).

Also, removing the ability for apps to see friend data basically makes 3rd-party FB clients all but impossible.

It's worth noting that the API you referenced is only available to Facebook games, and not other types of applications.

Yeah and basically 99% of the invite spam originates from games... if there'd be a way for users to disable ALL fucking invites I'd be happy.
