Bad title, they're just doing what is required by law.

They should just outright ban the app. Will never happen though.

Requiring a usable mobile site could be a compromise.

That's something that should apply to all of them. It's stupid that things like Facebook Messenger don't work on mobile now.

For messaging on Facebook without the app: mbasic.facebook.com

It sucks, but it works.

Seems like they're trying to comply. They know the world does not trust China.

$1.3 billion doesn't sound like a lot, really.
