If it was a really good app you made, why not also make your own backend and completely decouple from meta?
If you build an app using the meta platform in a way that is a clear violation of their tos, the app will obviously be killed the second it gets popular. If I was running a service and another company attempted to do this to my service (violated my TOS, built on top of my private API in a way that striped all my revenue and repackaged it under their name, etc) I would definitely ban them...

- rabuse 4y agoBecause the backend is the difficult part that tends to cost a lot of money in resources/infrastructure.

- agileAlligator 4y agoIt's not just the app that was killed (which would be understandable), it was their personal facebook accounts that were in no way linked to the app.
