I haven't tried to, but I think you'll need a software that can interpret js to interact with FB. Like webdriver, or headless chrome.
You could use https://mbasic.facebook.com/ which doesn't use any JavaScript (there is actually no script tags in the page source).
Way to go Facebook! /s
I may be swimming in the opposite direction, but I like to see that go. I left Twitter (well, abandoned my account) years ago, tired of the excessive noise and progressive loss of relevance to me. Seeing tweets on the FB feed always makes the author seem lazy and desperate to have a presence in every social media site, just because. I know that the change won't stop all of that but will certainly reduce it. FB isn't…
I'm surprised at the almost universal outrage over this. I assumed this was in response to the whole election interference campaign and related issues, i.e. preventing bots from blasting out content and predetermined times or in response to specific keywords in the news, things like that. So this seems like a step in the direction of ensuring actual humans are doing these things (or at least make it slightly more dif…
It also means they can more easily charge companies for posting (who are the ones most likely to want to post to several services).

You'd think the posters in this thread have some kind of business interest in this functionality based on the way they're reacting.

Apparently it's part of further locking down their API ( https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/01/psa-cross-posting-tweets-t... ) so that random apps that have been given permission to post by default can no longer do so. The way I read it, people who deliberately want to cross-post tweets are essentially collateral damage.
Why couldn't they blanket-deauth all Facebook apps (or maybe just ones authed before this year, or sth.) instead? People would fix the apps they still use. And really, publishing apps on FB is not a real problem; apps exfiltrating data is.

Good! This means more open distribution methods (email) will be given priority again. I don't want Facebook, nor Twitter. Just take my email address and send me your content, or offer an RSS feed. EDIT: Anyone know if this kills Buffer and other social feed managers?
Good - if you don't like/use Facebook. For people who like/use it (and there are many), this is a very sad day.

(I think in reality, my view of Facebook as a tool for messaging and looking at photos is probably fundamentally different than a lot of the upset people posting here who seemed to use Facebook for promoting their blogs or personal twitter brand or whatever)
