Facebook Disables All Pencake Apps

After shooting up to become one of the largest developers on Facebook’s platform, Pencake Limited is getting all of its hundred-odd quiz apps disabled, including massive ones like Create your Quiz and Elements Analyst Creator. The reason appears to be policy violations, which we covered last week, although we don’t know which specific violations resulted in the ban.

From Facebook:

We recently disabled applications created by the developer of ‘Create Your Quiz’ for violating Facebook Platform policies. We enforce these policies regularly and will continue to take appropriate action against applications we find do not provide a trustworthy experience for users.

Other third-party developers on Facebook’s developer forum have been criticizing Pencake and documenting its platform activities.
