Pausing app reviews is annoying for sure, but not allowing new users to authorize their app is really bad.

Meaning that new customers can't connect with facebook anymore to access their own data using OAuth! We don't need permissions about your friends, your photos, or whatever. Just accessing their own messages and posts (which is what our customers want to see in our app and pay for).

I know they are shell-shocked after #deletefacebook stuff, but this overreaction is ridiculous.

So glad it's not our only channel of communication through. Times like this you appreciate email - crazy huh?



Drastic action and outcry from developers may be necessary to attain enough media coverage.

The spin from Zuckerberg as a result will be along the lines of "We're really glad you asked that question, and it's one that's really important to all of us. We are prioritising the safety and privacy of our users, and unfortunately that might upset some over-reaching applications."


They are blocking new apps, not new users in existing apps.


>not allowing new users to auth their app

Where does it say this? Is that in separate reporting? That would be huge.
