If you're using Facebook, you've probably encountered Seppukoo, that application/service that lets you temporarily "kill your online identity"? Now Facebook didn't seem to like it and has sent a letter to Seppukoo administrator to desist their operation under the premise that it violates Facebook's terms of service.
Mashable.com listed some reasons why Seppukoo should stop their service:
- Soliciting users’ Facebook login information.
- Accessing a Facebook account that belongs to someone else.
- Collecting users’ content or information using automated means.
- Sending commercial communications.
- Using Facebook’s intellectual property.
I never used Seppukoo because I'm afraid that it will completely cancel my account. I have more than 1,000 friends and I cannot compromise on "temporarily" canceling my Facebook account and reactivate it once I sign on. I think I got how the service works if I am not mistaken.
Seppukoo's website has revealed its stance against Facebook's apparent threat on the existence of their service. As of today, the Les Liens Invisibles, the group behind Seppukoo makes it clear that it
"...rejects every false pretence |pretense) about phishing or malitious (malicious) use of personal datas and pubblically (publicly)..."
Although I haven't used Seppukoo, I'm not sure about the things they're doing that's considered illegal or something. As long as they (Seppukoo) proved that they are not literally using FB account holder's information in any way, they've got nothing to fear about.
