Bottom Of The Barrel

Well that didn't last long

After only a week, the Whopper Sacrifice was well sacrificed. Since it's release,
233,906 Facebook friends were removed by 82,771 people. As predicted, Facebook didn't take to kindly to the very-anti-social application and have it shut down. In a statement, Facebook pulled the plug under privacy concerns:

We encourage creativity from developers and brands using Facebook Platform, but we also must ensure that applications follow users’ expectations of privacy. This application facilitated activity that ran counter to user privacy by notifying people when a user removes a friend. We have reached out to the developer with suggested solutions. In the meantime, we are taking the necessary steps to assure the trust users have established on Facebook is maintained.

Like it or not, Facebook is all about building it's usership and let's face are going to control what happens on their platform. Afterall it is a business to them.
