Hanlon's razor, anybody? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon%27s_razor. This could just be a mistake.

  Doubtful such a big change made it through Facebook's tight release process by mistake.

    It easily could be a bug such as the refence to the Api being removed. Posts that reference it could raise an error leading to them being hidden. I’ll wait to hear if Facebook makes a statement.

    How familiar are you with Facebook's release process?

  The article contains a quote from Facebook which strongly implies it is a mistake. I guess no-one read the article. “Reached for comment, Facebook says it’s aware of the issue and is looking into it.”

  Finally someone reasonable, thank you. It looks like a mistake, FB is actively communicating it's trying to restore the content but still everyone is witch hunting. I thought people here were more sensible to the fact that developers at all companies leave bugs/undesired behaviour behind them. This may very well have been spec'd and developed 10 years ago, and now the reality have changed, but not the code. Because let's face it, it's not exactly an everyday use case.
