Facebook News: Protecting User Privacy by Example: Top Friends suspended
Facebook published on the 27th of June an article about “Building Trust and Protecting User Privacy” because “Privacy is at the core of Facebook”.
Because ” Facebook work to help clarify standards and maintain user trust” in applications available on Facebook, they recently suspended “Top Friends“, an application used by millions of users, one of the most popular applications on Facebook.
According the Facebook:
“This application violated user privacy by displaying some profile data to people who should not otherwise have been able to see the information. Though the application developer insists that this violation was not intentional, the seriousness of the violation required us to take immediate action.”
And they added:
“This situation demonstrates the importance for continued vigilance on our part and the part of developers who build applications on Facebook Platform.”
In the coming weeks, Facebook promise to increase their efforts to educate the developers community about their specific policies and the polities and programs developers need to put in place in order to uphold the guiding principles of the platform.
So developers please be responsible before Facebook makes an example with your application.
