It looks like Facebook is sending out Developer App Review email Notifications. If you have the OAuth Login Facebook method setup for your Geeklog site you can probably expect this notification soon if you have not got it already.
App Review required by August 1, 2018 to retain existing permissions and features
The Facebook App Review process and API permissions model have been updated. Learn More.
In order to maintain your current API access, your app will need to be submitted for review by August 1, 2018. If your app is not submitted for review, you will lose access to these permissions and features.
• user_friends
• user_link
• user_gender
• user_age_range
The Facebook Platform APIs have been updated with these changes. Please review the FAQ to ensure you request the correct permissions and features with your app review submission.
If access to the permissions and features is approved, the app may need to be associated to a verified business to complete App Review.
Once I go through the process and confirm what permissions Geeklog requires I will post the results to this topic.

I've started looking into the process and see that for Geeklog Facebook Oauth Apps, you will most likely need to request the follow permissions for the review:
user_link - Provides access to the Facebook profile URL for another user of the app.
user_location - Provides access to a person's current city through the location field on the User object. The current city is set by a person on their Profile.
All other fields we use are considered default fields and do not require special permissions.
For some reason when we request this information when creating an account from a Facebook profile we also request the user_friends. We don not need this so our oauth class needs to be updated (along with a few other small issues) to reflect this. Here is the issue in github:
https://github.com/Geeklog-Core/geeklog/issues/881
If you don't go through with the review in time I am not sure what happens. Hopefully the app continues to work but the information that requires permissions will bot be passed. If that is the case Geeklog's Oauth Facebook login will continue to work, the Geeklog profiles will just be created with less information.

Well on July 31 Geeklog.net was approved for user_link but not for user_location Facebook permissions. I clearly stated in the screencast how it would be used but it was not approved. Here is what Facebook said:
There is a lot of confusion at the moment around the Facebook App review process so I am going to leave this for now. It also appears that a lot of the approval process is up to the individual Facebook reviewer as my other Geeklog site was not approved for either permission even though it was pretty much the exact same screencast. If you search the net you will find other webmasters with similar problems.
So for now the Geeklog OAuth Facebook login will continue to work with out extra permissions. All that will happen is the location will not be filled in. Currently Geeklog does to create a link to the Facebook profile but it does not work at the moment so I am not sure if we are grabing the right field. Clicking on the Facebook link we get will give you the following message on Facebook:
I will have to look into user_link and user_location to make sure all is okay for the next version of Geeklog since for some reason we get the above error message.

This permission is not required for your app's intended function, or it doesn't appear to enhance the user experience. Please review this reference for more details about all different permissions, including common and invalid use cases.

so...how you end up solving the user_link?
i dont know how to be approved by fb because we need that information to be more confident that the person is somehow trustable based on what their share
