XF 2.0 Which permissions does my FB App need to use for social login in my XF site

I have enabled social login by FB for a long time. Recently FB asked me to submit my developer App for review in order to maintain the following permissions

- user_friends
- user_link
- user_gender
- user_age_range

I am wondering if those permissions are necessary for social login in my XF site? The app will continue to have the following permissions, which I think is enough for login

- email
- public_profile
 
I'm unsure why Facebook thinks you need those permissions. It's possible XF asked for some of those in the past, but I'm not certain about that. Or it might just be a blanket warning to everyone that you'd no longer be able to request them in the future without permission.

But, you're right, we don't ask for those permissions so any warnings about it can be ignored. We only ask for "email" currently.
