How does one even pause app reviews? They don't own the app stores do they?
I think this means that they're not allowing new apps into the app store.

All those apps/sites with "login with facebook" or asking you for facebook permissions (ie, Tinder, Spotify, etc) are reviewed by Facebook.

#14Just turn off all Facebook apps. I never turned them on, and don't seem to be missing anything.

This is the review process for getting extended scope permissions on Facebook apps.

#17Reading Facebook's PR as they try to fix "problems" that they previously leveraged to profit massively is like someone purposely tripping you and as you stand back up they spit in your face and say "Oh, sorry. I'll try not to do it again" in a condescending tone. [edited to remove things HN can't handle]
Didn't he plan to give away almost all his money over time?

Wow man that's some top level hate. You do realize that Zuck has pledged away 99% of his wealth? Providing third party apps access to friends list was a strange permission. I have never used an app that asked for it. But there are plenty of dating, games and social apps that could only work with a permission like that.
I think people are reading too much into this fiasco. We are better off fixing Facebook. It serves its purpose well.

#19Where does it say that facebook is disabling new user authorizations? I don't see it on the page OP linked.
It's not mentioned in the post specifically, but this is what you get when a new user tries to login with Facebook: https://imgur.com/a/iAf6r
It sounds like this might only affect apps requesting the "pages_messaging" scope... https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=platf...
