Facebook Blocks KDE Photo App, Deletes Users' Pics

Znarl writes with a report from Joe Brockmeier, who writes that: "KDE users have gotten a rather unpleasant surprise from Facebook: Not only is the site blocking KDE apps like Gwenview from uploading, the social media giant has also taken down photos uploaded with the KDE plugins. Yet another reason that users might think twice before depending on Facebook for photo storage."

    Facebook's photo feature was never a good way to store photos. There is Picasa and a number of much better apps for that, which allow you to store the photos full size, download the originals later, etc.
      For that matter, Facebook isn't a particularly good place to store anything very important.
