14 DAY TRIAL // New Facebook users might want to think twice about who they add as a friend in the first day since they activate their accounts. Some of the people that automatically add others to their Friend List might prove to be the reason for some major drama and serious scandal. The application called "Break Up" goes over the FB standard policy of not disclosing whether a person decides to remove another from their friend list and gives the latter a notice of it.
Whether it will leave the FaceItApps designed application stick around or whether the users' right to remove friends and not suffer any consequences will prevail is yet to be seen. The team in charge with the decision emailed Michael Arrington of TechCrunch.com the following statement: "we are currently in the process of reviewing this application to ensure that it does not violate any of the site's Terms by allowing users to view which of their friends have removed them from the Friend List."
The fact that the information on friend removal is not available through the API that Facebook has installed is a statement in fact of what the company policy is towards the problem at hand. When you look at the fact that FB had a problem a while ago when Plaxo was addressing the same issue you start to get the picture of what will come to be. The developers might find out that they are actually left out of the loop if it comes down to the choice mentioned above.
Creating a friendship, be it only online, is most definitely a bidirectional relationship, so the moment one decides to end it he should be able to do that without having to think that the other is going to feel hurt. It's a moral problem that shouldn't have anything to do with terms of use or anything of the sort.
