They don't, that's the entire point. From the day they created the API it was with the understanding that people would farm the data. FB only asked politely that companies not collect so that they could tell the public what they are telling them now (We had no idea!), but no developer ever took that seriously.
- taurath 7y agoThen they should get absolutely no praise or even acknowledgement for suspending these apps. They made the fence with no gate, saying they've kicked out a few of the foxes isn't praiseworthy.
- ipsum2 7y ago> From the day they created the API it was with the understanding that people would farm the data This is a serious claim, do you have any evidence to support it?
- behringer 7y agoThey put in no safe guards. It was designed to give developers access to personal information. What more do you want? Criminal negligence is still criminal.
- bilbo0s 7y agoActually allowing access is not criminal provided they tell you they are going to do so in the TOS. That's why we need a law to make it explicitly illegal to share any such information at all for commercial purposes. I don't really care if it destroys business models. Maybe some of those business models deserve to be destroyed.
