Apps that does not add enough value to Facebook can no longer use Facebook’s data to protect its assets.
From a blog entry published by Facebook, they explained that they have changed their policies to clear up this certain issue.
The social network published a blog entry today, explaining that it's changed its policies to clarify this stance since they did not respond to the press previously when asked about why they have denied access to their API for a number of apps.
Their statement was that if an app does not let users share content that was created on Facebook, the app may not use the platform’s data. Specifically, Facebook has blocked the access of a Twitter owned video sharing loop called Vine.
Oddly enough, Twitter did the same thing last year for similar reasons; it declined access to its API for apps like Tumblr and Facebook’s Instagram.
