Facebook Blocks KDE Photo App, Deletes Users' Pics 262
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."

I am sure the Faceborg have the best interests of the public in mind. Those nasty open source free applications can spread like wildfire, and then we are all communists.

So that's what it takes to have your photos successfully deleted from Facebook.

Use Picasa, it's not made by a wannabe evil, world dominating organisation.
Wow, did you manage to keep a straight face while writing that?

Facebook is not a place to store photos at all.
I don't understand why anyone would think it is. Facebook is a place to share meaningless drivel with your friends, vague acquaintances and pretty much the entire rest of the world. If quality photo storage is an issue, you go to a site that's designed for that, and not for something else entirely.
