There are some clients for mobile devices, but I'm pretty sure if anyone were to make such a skin, and it were to gain any meaningful popularity, facebook would just kill its API access or threaten with legal repercussions because its explicitly forbidden to do this [0].

- intrasight 9y agoLots of stuff there. Which one says you can't use the API to build a read-only client? Makes no sense that they would have an API for something which is forbidden.
- iaml 9y ago4.1 Add something unique to the community. Don’t replicate core functionality that Facebook already provides. 4.4 Respect the limits we've placed on Facebook functionality. Read-only client violates 4.1, as it replicates news feed. Changing how news feed is formed is a violation of 4.4.
- intrasight 9y agoBut it doesn't "replicate" the newsfeed because the newsfeed doesn't show me what I want to see.
