Before anyone says Facebook's testimony is just fluff, we're a business that relies on Facebook's API to monitor activity, and we've been severely impacted. We no longer can get data as before - it's having a large effect on our business. So we definitely feel that action is being taken.
- lostlogin 9y agoWould you be able to explain what you used to do and have access to and what has changed? It would be interesting to hear an advertisers view.

- themgt 9y agoWe were scraping data for a client for public events like music shows, business special days/etc, and that's been severely shut down and apparently on hold to approve any new apps. Again this is just getting like the date/location/ticket URL for a public page FB event that presumably businesses want people to know about - no private data about attendees/humans at all.
- gaius 9y agoThat seems like a legitimate use case. (it was a genuine question!)
