[quote]I’ve spent 4 years and countless hours building up a community around my software: my Page had 338,050 Likes, my Support Group had 13,360 members, and my Interest List had 1.47 Million followers. But all of that work was wiped out in an instant when Facebook decided to shut it down without notice. My software is a free browser extension that fixes and enhances the Facebook user interface, called Social Fixer. It is widely popular and used by over a million people. Since my application is tightly integrated with Facebook, it’s only logical that I would use the site to build my community of users, provide support, and make important announcements. I am trying to make their site better, after all.[/quote] [url]http://socialfixer.com/blog/2013/09/12/beware-your-business-is-at-the-mercy-of-facebook-social-fixer-page-deleted-without-explanation/[/url] Real classy, FB.
It was a threat to their business model. [i]was.[/i] Fuck off, Zuckerberg
this was bound to happen eventually
Never heard of it.
Facebook is a private enterprise they can do whatever they want on their website. Don't like it? Don't use it.

I don't see the point in installing a browser extension just for facebook, I just gave up on that site ever looking good or being smooth, might as well have an incentive to not spend too much time on Facebook

[QUOTE=UltraSamurai;42165364]Facebook is a private enterprise they can do whatever they want on their website. Don't like it? Don't use it.[/QUOTE] That's pretty much the same logic as game companies banning people for modding their games so it's more comfortable to play. Sure you can do it legally, but you'll still be an asshole. This is the same reason Youtube Center doesn't go through the Chrome Store.
Pretty shitty move really. I've been using Social Fixer for a while and it certainly makes the site a bit more bearable to use.
