Facebook Police Strike Again

Facebook is at again shutting down yet another large application on their platform for privacy violations. This time around they’ve picked off the 24th most active application on the platform, Social Me. As Justin Smith writes., “If two’s a coincidence and three’s a trend, then the disappearance of Social Me tonight should raise all developers’ eyebrows.” This is the second time in under a week that an application has been pulled off the platform.

Facebook is known for actively policing their platform but the real question at hand is how scalable is Facebook’s policing process? With over 30,000 applications on the platform it has become increasingly challenging for Facebook to monitor the activity that all developers are up to.
