When I wear my tinfoil hat it becomes clear that Cambridge Analytica was a manufactured crisis to give Facebook the public permission and mission to purge developers off its platform, which has been its plan for a while now.

- ocdtrekkie 8y agoI mostly doubt Facebook would intentionally put itself through this much drama just to dump developers: The damage they took from CA was worse than they'd get for announcing they hated developers and didn't want to deal with them anymore. That being said, it's hard to criticize them for internalizing something like this given that letting external services build on them is what landed them in this mess in the first place.
