The real question is whether I can access and present a Facebook newsfeed via 3rd party application. For example: Can I create a "1337h4x0rbook.io" that contains a hacker-focused social network, but feeds / filters based on things that are tech-y. Can I?

  Should be possible with FQL I think? Just query the stream table.

    FQL has been deprecated since Graph API v2.1 (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_1 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_1), and will only be usable with <=v2.0 apps until October 30th 2016 (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog). The Graph API has not longer the ability to retrieve the /home endpoint which contained the newsfeed, since v2.0. The only this a app can retrieve is the user's own posts.

  The graph API has a feeds and posts endpoint that gives you the posts from any public Facebook page

    A lot of groups with significant utility are private - e.g. groups surrounding car part sales

      And users can remove themselves from the group's feed provided by the Graph API, even if the group is public.

        This is the choice of the group so, of course, the content is not publically available via API. If a user logs in to your app with facebook credentials, you can access private group contents via API. What's the problem here?

        this is not the choice of the public group... any user of a public group can choose to have their data not available when someones query the API of that public group...

It used to work with Jabber, it doesn't work now.

  It still works with XMPP. I'm connected with bitlbee right now.

    Stopped working with Pidgin for me, switched to Trillian and it works fine. Caveats being it doesn't work with messages that include links and also group messages. 99% of cases it's fine.
