#2"my Page had 338,050 Likes, my Support Group had 13,360 members, and my Interest List had 1.47 Million followers. But all of that work was wiped out in an instant when Facebook decided to shut it down without notice."
"Not only did they remove the page, but they also blocked my personal account from posting anything for 12 hours (I can’t even Like anything). They also did the same for anyone who was an Administrator or Moderator of the Page – including my wife’s personal account! Members of the support team, who generously volunteer their time to help users, have been shut out as well. They did one big sweep, I guess."
I came here to post this story, it is unfortunate that this news is not getting more visibility. If possible, check "tell facebook what you think" and try to help Matt since he has worked very hard on this app

#3From the FAQ:
"Can Social Fixer hide the Sponsored ads?
Yes, just click on the "X" in the upper right of the box, and all boxes with the same title will be hidden every time you load a page."
There is a lesson here somewhere...

#4It is also against Facebook TOS to create or use browser extensions to alter the Facebook experience. This has been the rule for many years. The fact that this page and extension did not get banned sooner is the real story.

Does that mean https://www.facebook.com/adblockplus is next?

#6I hope one day we can stop relying on rent-seeking third-party platforms for important interactions.

Very well, maybe they're trying to kill Social Fixer because of their TOS. Right now, it seems like this will be the biggest exposure SF gets in its several years of existence, so not the best possible move...
Advertisers didn't kill adblock, and they won't kill this. How much revenue and resources they lose before they accept this fact and adapt, is up to them.

They can write that in their terms & conditions all they like, but it doesn't make it legal or enforceable.

It is against the Facebook TOS, unfortunately shouldn't we be telling him "don't violate Facebook's TOS without expecting repercussions?"
