operations contact @ facebook?

We have had issues with a FB application basically doing a DOS against a
network. This was not on our servers but somewhere out there on the
Internet.  It was an application that was going rogue.  It was talking to
several of our user¹s using this application.  FaceBook caught it and made
the developer fix the App.  I am sure we were not the only ones seeing the
issue.

Clearly I do not have all the information, so please forgive me for
being confused.  But since when do I[*] have to ask you before I put
an application on my server?  If FB put an application on your server,
that seems like something you should have known up front.
