  Facebook is a walled in garden, they wont let outsiders benefit on their backs. Any app which recieves fame is due for "accidents".

  Content from spammy apps are hidden when the app is disabled. If you think about this it sort of makes sense: if the app is sending lots of crap without user consent, merely disabling an app does not remove all the crap it has already sent out. I don't think the posted content are actually deleted though, they should be unhidden when the app is unblocked.

  If you've been following the recent threads, Facebook has recently started targeting tons of photo apps, often for no visible reason, and many think it's because Facebook is about to get into the game themselves with their own photo sharing apps. Expect an answer within the month or so when they release it.

    Just deleting photos without a proper explanation of why you did so leaves a very bad taste in the mouth. I can see why people would be bitter... FB just deleted their photos because their upload method was "wrong". If they said there was no possible way to examine the situation, or that they would restore your photos if you waded through an indemnification click-through, then OK, I can understand. But just deleting the photos with no warning or even notification?
