On: Facebook bans, sends C&D letter to developer of Un...

Neither the techspot nor the slate article link to the tool the entire article is about.

Here is a direct link to the tool:

Why do news organisations resist linking users to the source of news so heavily?

That's a different extension. They can't link to Unfollow Everything because he was forced to take it down.

That seems pretty bad. They used the threat of a lawsuit to govern his use of a completely unrelated platform owned by a different firm. I'm sure the courts just love this shit, but that would only show how fundamentally unjust the courts are.

Is there something wrong with the linked extension? Is its existence contingent on FB lawyers not identifying the developer?

[barbazoo → londons_explore]

This doesn't seem to be the same tool. The letter cites "Unfollow everything for facebook"
