In its ongoing efforts to police how its data is used by third-party apps, Twitter this week shut down mobile TweetDeck apps, Facebook integration with TweetDeck and use of the social commerce app Flattr on its platform.

TweetDeck is a Twitter client acquired by Twitter in 2011. As expected, Twitter today said it would shut down the client’s mobile apps.

“To continue to offer a great product that addresses your unique needs, we’re going to focus our development efforts on our modern, web-based versions of TweetDeck,” the company said.

Twitter also said it would turn off Facebook integration from all versions of TweetDeck, continuing escalating hostilities between the two social networks.
