Facebook Disconnects Google Friends Connect
Facebook cites violation of its terms of service as grounds for blocking Google’s Friend Connect from accessing social network’s members’ data.
Friend Connect violates Facebook’s terms of service because it “redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge,” Facebook official Charlie Cheever wrote on the company’s blog for developers.
“Just as we’ve been forced to do for other applications that redistribute data in a way users might not expect or understand, we’ve had to suspend Friend Connect’s access to Facebook user information until it comes into compliance,” Cheever wrote.
