Facebook?s Ban Bot Leaves Some Developers Baffled (And Angry)

Over the last few days the TechCrunch tips box has seen a surge in complaints from Facebook developers who have had their applications disabled without warning. Facebook's developer forum is filled with threads as developers cry foul, saying that Facebook is killing their businesses without warning or just cause. And developers in a thread on Hacker News are reporting similar problems. So what's going on? The sudden bans are the result of an automated Facebook bot, which automatically shuts down applications that it deems to be spammy. Obviously neither users nor Facebook want spammy applications on the platform, but there's one problem: Facebook recently tweaked this bot to be much more aggressive, and it didn't give developers any warning before it set it loose.
