Facebook Nixes Access To Chats Outside Of Messenger Walled Garden (arstechnica.co.uk)
Tom Mendelsohn, reporting for Ars Technica: Some smartphone users of Facebook are reporting that they're no longer able to access their messages from the mobile site, and that they're being directed towards the free content ad network's dedicated Messenger app. Users of the regular Facebook mobile app were shunted over to Facebook Messenger to access their chats a while ago. Now, folk who access the service on their phone's Web browsers, or via third-party apps such as Tinfoil or Metal, are beginning to find that they can no longer view their messages. Complaints are popping up from users who are being told by Facebook that "your conversations are moving to Messenger." Some Android users are even finding themselves automatically redirected to the download link on the Google Play store when they try and view their messages on the mobile site.
Removing it virtually doubled my battery life.
If the battery life savings were only virtual, that's no good to me. I need real change.
If you're a faecesbook user you're a moron who has no understanding of privacy and likes being a sheeple, corporate slave. You have no soul, no independent mind and you are part of the problem. You're the type of person who says "I was only obeying orders".
"But my friends need to contact me on faecesbook" - Get some better friends.
"But my family need to contact me on faecesbook" - Get a better family.
faecesbook - For morons, by evil morons.
