On: Facebook deletes Social Fixer page, blocks page ad...

If they put that clause in their ToS, and then decided to kick you off Facebook for wearing tinted glasses, they'd be well within their rights.

[alextingle → yid]

The ToS is irrelevant. They can kick you off FB for no reason at all, if they want.

[troels → yid]

They would be in their rights - legally speaking - but would it be reasonable? And would you expect it to happen?

[yid → troels]

Whether or not it is reasonable is besides the point here -- I was responding to a bad analogy.

[tlrobinson → yid]

Of course they can kick any Facebook user/group off for any reason, but I suspect they would have a hard time taking any sort of legal action against a plugin (or tinted glasses) that merely changes the way a user's browser interprets the resources loaded from Facebook.

Anyway, I think it's silly for Facebook to be going after tools that make users like Facebook more, as long as they don't somehow degrade the experience for others (spamming, etc)

> going after tools that make users like Facebook more

I suspect it has more to do with the fact that many of these tools strip ads.

[tlrobinson → yid]

I installed Social Fixer, and it doesn't strip ads, at least not by default.
