No More Sacrifice

Barack Obama may continue talking about sacrifice, but apparently we can't do it on Facebook anymore. When I logged into Facebook to look at my Whopper Sacrifice app, I discovered that it was no longer available.



Apparently Facebook didn't think sacrificing friendships was such a great idea after all. Here's the 'official' statement from Facebook:

“We encourage creativity from developers and companies using Facebook platform, but we also must ensure that applications follow users’ expectations and privacy,” the company said in a statement. “After extensive discussions with the developer, we’ve made some changes to the application’s behavior to assure that users’ expectations of privacy are maintained. The application remains active on Facebook.”

How is it still considered "active" when the app has been disabled? If Facebook really believed in privacy, they'd disable Google's search feature that allows you to find people's Facebook profiles through a simple Google search.

Angry Gram: Another Twist in the Plot
So maybe it wasn't just Facebook's idea to get rid of the Whopper Sacrifice App. It's just interesting because BK apparently already has a new website called www.angry-gram.com which allows people to send a message to Facebook letting them no how angry they are that they disabled the Whopper Sacrifice application.



However, I think that maybe BK saw that they were going to give away too many Whoppers for their bottom line.
