So Facebook have suspended the “Top Friends” Application..
This being the 3rd most popular application on the Social Networking Platform…
The Application vanished on the 26th of June… and its Application page is being directed to the Facebook main page…
Facebook said:
We have suspended the Top Friends application while we investigate violations of our Terms of Service. We recognize this is a popular application and don’t take this action lightly.
Inside Facebook in their article: Top Friends Vanishes From Facebook Platform said:
Apparently, Top Friends was allowing access to non-friends’ personal information in a way that violated the TOS. This is a pretty siginificant disciplinary action by Facebook.
I think this great that facebook are taking action towards this type of misconduct, especially against a app with such a large following.. Im sure that this is not the only App that breaches privacy, and would be expecting other applications to face the same penalty…
