In all honesty I think you guys are being extremely harsh with a man that has pointed a huge problem on your website. He has done Facebook a huge favour and instead of paying him, you have the nerve to refer to a TOS not written in his first language as an excuse. This will lead to bad publicity for a multi million dollar company like yourselves. The man looks really poor and if he wanted to he could have made a lot of money selling that exploit to spammers. However he decided to do the ethically right thing, only to be stabbed in the back by Facebook. I cannot believe that a company of your size and magnitude would stoop so low, its pathetic!!!! Just on that basis I will boycott Facebook as your organisation seems to have lost all of its good morals!!!!!
