Facebook blocked Google’s service, Friend Connect, from accessing the personal information of its members. This service was designed to ease people’s accessibility to other sites and to let them reuse the content of their profile in those sites. The concept was invented to save people’s time and patience, whenever they wanted to get connected to different sites and let their profile be seen by other people, giving details about their interests, list of friends, photos, likes and dislikes.

The main flaw of this service is that there is a leak of personal information without their knowledge, on any site the users visit. This reveals that the reason for which this service was blocked by Facebook was the non-compliance of the Google Friend Connect with the Facebook’s terms of service, more exactly it does not respect “the privacy standards our users have come to expect and is a violation of our terms of service," as Charlie Cheever, the Facebook engineer, affirms on a blog site.

What is to be done with this issue? As long as “Google does not fully understand what it needs to do in order to comply with Facebook's terms of service,” as the Google Engineering Director David Glazer affirmed in a phone interview with PC World, the issue remains on the waiting list.
