Tell HN: The problem with BangWithFriends - it's not anonymous

Facebook Graph search allows you to search everyone who uses this app. Be it your friends, people who aren't your friends, just about anyone.

Example criteria:

"Single women I am not friends with who use BangWithFriends"

"My friends who use BangWithFriends"

This is an interesting find. I don't necessarily care about "BangWithFriends", but I am curious if you still show up on those searches if you set the privacy to "Only me" when you signup in any app. Does that hide you from searches on the Open Graph (in respect to app usage)?

I ask this because I frequently signup with Facebook on some apps, and purposely put it to "Only me" privacy, to keep my activity hidden from my Facebook friends. I would hope that doing so, would keep me out of those types of Open Graph searches. Can anyone confirm/deny this (I don't have Open Graph Search, yet)?

Ask HN: What is BangWithFriends?

Edit: a Facebook app that where you can click on friends you want to sleep with. If they have the app, they are notified. I would think this would be more cool if both of you are only notified if you both signify that you want to sleep with each other. This could also be toned down to just signify romantic interest to get more engagement.

Ah, ok..regarding my Edit above, the article I read about it didn't say that it only notified users when both showed interest.
