There is one App blacklisted in Facebook's JS API
And, it's "The Sims Social". Haha. Hardcoded.
{"blacklist":[144959615576466],"sampleRate":500}
... in http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js
Which is:
http://facebook.com/144959615576466
aka. https://apps.facebook.com/thesimssocial/
Props to @samvj for finding it. (he's sitting here and I said I'd submit)
- joeblau 14y agoNice find. I wonder what they were guilty of?

- chc 14y agoIt looks like it's just blacklisted (or maybe even just rate-limited?) from something called "CanvasPrefetcherConfig". I haven't the patience right now to read through the whole minified file to figure out what's actually going on, but that sounds more like a workaround for some obscure technical issue than The Sims Social being somehow blacklisted by Facebook, doesn't it?
- simonster 14y agoIt looks like it affects a single function, FB.Canvas.Prefetcher._maybeSample, which is: if (!j.isEnvironment(j.ENVIRONMENTS.CANVAS) || !j.getClientID() || !l) return; if (Math.random() > 1 / l || m == '*' || ~ES5(m, 'indexOf', true, j.getClientID())) return; setTimeout(p, 30000); where m is the blacklist. Given that this function does nothing for 30 seconds anyway, it seems almost certain that it's a workaround for a technical issue.
