The actual article title is "An Update on Our Plans to Restrict Data Access on Facebook". It details a list of new API restrictions for Facebook Apps, as well as planned notifications of users whose data was leaked to CA.
These additional API restrictions may be closing the door after the horses have bolted, but they will also restrict more scraping and data mining. However, I'm sure the value of Facebook data that companies have already collected just shot up significantly...
I also think that the step of planting an alert on affected users' News Feeds is a good one, and something that I didn't expect Facebook would go for. Curious to see what the report says when that feature goes live.
