Why Facebook should Police their API

8 pointsby jasonadriaanabout 14 years ago
For years we have been warned to be careful of what we installed or even what we clicked on Facebook, but as malware on the social network runs rampant don’t you think that it’s time we demand Facebook to pay attention? The malware issue on Facebook is a much bigger problem than they lead us to believe because it strikes at the very foundations of their established ecosystem.

They do. The fact that they took that app down is proof of it.<p>What you want is for them to moderate everything that is posted, and that's just not possible. Even the heuristics for detecting rogue apps is tough and probably beyond their abilities, considering the manpower it would take to create and hardware to execute.

My profile wall is littered with Osama photo/video posts, why doesn't Facebook have tech in place that stop apps when their post frequency to walls gets out of hand?

If Facebook were to police their API like Jobs they would have to do another billion dollar VC round.
