One man made an awesome browser plugin called Social Fixer, which allowed users to create exactly the Facebook experience they wanted.
Facebook didn’t like it so removed his Facebook page under dubious circumstances and has now menaced him with legal issues unless he guts Social Fixer’s functionality.
Social Fixer announced yesterday it is giving in to Facebook’s threat of legal recourse and will remove the main functions which made the tool useful.
Since Social Fixer is a one-man operation, Matt Kruse at first tried to talk to Facebook but when the litigious, resource-rich social media behemoth threatened the developer, he had little choice than to do exactly as they dictated.
