After speaking with TechCrunch, and not responding to Facebook’s take-down request, my account was disabled. I finally responded and, after a few emails, agreed to remove the code from my website (for fear of legal intervention, and to get my Facebook account back).

TechCrunch ran a story today detailing the controversy and the implications surrounding it. It is great to see that others have the same ideas as I do and agree with me on some levels.

So check out the article, Facebook: Opening Up, But on Its Own Terms!
P.S.: NYTimes Tech section picked up the story as well: Closing the Open Facebook
