Any time some new one pops up in my feed I block it. I haven't had a problem with this junk in my feed for a very long time. I can barely believe its bugging smart technical people.
- tomkit 14y agoI have the same work flow. In addition, these "OK/Yes", "OK/(auto enabled toggle)", "YES-only" dialogs are not unique to Zynga and not unique to Farmville 2; it's been around for a while. I suppose the author of the blog was only recently compelled to try out the game?

- myhf 14y agoTrue, if you spend enough time on Facebook that you can block social viruses as they appear, then you will never see more than one or two at a time. But there is no technical reason why Facebook doesn't allow users to categorically block a virus developer. It's a political reason: new viruses entering the system get new eyeballs, reinforcing the business model.
