Yes, it's not the original title, but "How to use Twitter with Facebook" does not sum up well what changed.

The title is somewhat contradictory: "FB ends the ability to auto-post tweets to your profile" on an article about how to auto-post tweets to your FB profile.

I didn't know that was possible, so I used to do the same thing via IFTTT, that probably still works.

The first section on the page is that this feature is going away. It was pretty self evident upon clicking the link.

To be clear, Facebook has ended the ability to automatically post _anything_ to a personal profile.

Nope. All automated posting to a personal profile is now blocked.

This includes most blog integrations, eg. being able to configure Wordpress to post a plug on your personal FB when you write something in your blog.

Except for Instagram posts, presumably?
