#2The other direction seems unaffected from my own cursory look around. I.e. Facebook posts still can become Tweets seemingly, although that may be from these people's third party tools.

#3This is pretty crazy. For people whose job is social media, this is basically the equivalent of Github just arbitrarily deciding they're going to delete all of your startup's source code without telling anyone in advance, or like Google Docs just deciding to disappear all your spreadsheets.
With only a couple months until election season, Facebook is now literally editing politician's pages and deleting the campaign material they've created to communicate with the voters in their districts.

#4I’m having a hard time caring about the policies of either of these terrible companies.

#5Make your own website and you won’t have to worry about this.
I’m mostly joking. Who makes their own websites anymore?
Frustrating seeing users caught in the crossfire of policy updates for tech giants.

#6Holy shit... Literally ten years of Facebook posts and people's comments on them just up and disappeared from my profile. How is that ok?

Isn’t this how the web was supposed to work?

#8Huh. Weird to retroactively pull content out of my feed. Now there's just, like, one post from all of 2018. Reveals to both me and the world that I don't actually really use Facebook that much... :-/

I think it would be a very smart move to plan for all of those things to happen.

No, it’s the equivalent of GitHub deciding to remove all the code that you automatically re-post from SourceForge.
In what way, AT ALL, was this this feature good for FACEBOOK?
It meant people could be “on” Facebook and “active” without ever actually logging in or using the app or engaging in any way.
Why would they want to just be a dumping ground for copies of another social network’s posts?
I guess I’m surprised this was allowed in the first place, or at least not removed many years ago.
