(compiling/wendy) social networking site Facebook has punished some studios for the latest user information leaks, including developers of social-game developers Lolapps, who have been blocked for up to six months. In fact, Facebook had briefly removed Lolapps-related apps before the Wall Street Journal reported user information leaks because the company had some problems with how Web browsers work.  The problem is that developers, including Lolapps, have given users information to marketing companies in violation of Facebook's User Service terms, Lolapps has said it has solved the problem and terminated cooperation with advertising agencies, and then the company's game back to Facebook.  While Facebook recently issued a statement stating "No tolerance for data leaks", platform engineer Mike Vernal said the company is serious about privacy issues, restricting developers who sell user IDs, restricting access to communications channels and sending notifications or invitations to users. "We've taken six-month-old measures to sell users ' information and banned them from accessing Facebook channels within six months, and we'll review how the developers handle the data to determine if they are compliant with our privacy policy," Vernal said. "Although no specific companies were blocked, Vernal said that" little impact, and basically small developers, did not involve Facebook's top ten applications developers ", foreign media into Facebook found Lolapps, my Friend Web,  Applications such as Mappdev and my top fans are limited to access to communication channels. Lolapps New-"Ravenwood Fair" is the company's only one by one not blocked game, and Lolapps future works will not be blocked still unclear. Because these applications are promoted through the communication channel, Lolapps and other blocked developers will be difficult to expand users or retain the current user base, Lolapp company's games include gift Creator, quiz Creator, etc. The current monthly active user has more than 15.8 million.
