FaceBook has restored SocialMe after a ban of almost two weeks. SocialMe was earlier suspended by FaceBook for privacy issues assuring that the ban would be lifted once the application fixes the privacy issues followed with review and approval by FaceBook. I’m not sure what privacy issues it was violating but was really disappointed at its removal as it’s been most-used FaceBook app for me. I’m glad that it’s finally back, was curious to see what changes they made if either of those were “visible”.

As I tuned it on and clicked for first tag of the day, a little message popped in asking me to enter personal info followed by a privacy notice that you can see in the graphic below. I already was a member so this info wasn’t needed I thought. Intention here would certainly be to get a checked box on privacy agreement declaring user’s willingness to share the private information (s)he enters. So, that was just the formality work to me.

I couldn’t notice any other changes as yet. May be it was an explicit privacy notice to its users that FaceBook needed from SocialMe. There may be some hidden privacy concerns so I’m not challenging FaceBook’s decision to suspend the application ;).
