Facebook Blocks 'Friend Exporter' Tool

It could interfere with Facebook's terms of service

CNET is reporting that Facebook is actively trying to block the Google Chrome extension Facebook Friend Exporter, which lets users export their list of Facebook friends and contact info for outside use, according to claims from the extension’s developer, Mohamed Mansour.

“Facebook is trying so hard to not allow you to export your friends. They started to remove emails of your friends from your profile by today July 5, 2011. It will no longer work for many people,” said Mansour.
