Your photos are easily accessible using the Graph API[1]. I wrote a python script which downloads all your photos and saves them to your computer[2]. However, I agree that Facebook doesn't make it easy for other web services to access store

Shouldn't you be using CC0[1]? Your blog posts are automatically covered by copyright when they are created. I think the Public Domain Mark is only for works already in the public domain. However, I am not entirely sure about this, so clari

I wrote a similar Python script[1] a couple of months ago that crawls the Graph API and downloads all your Facebook notes and photos. I recently started work on the script again, but after today's announcement, I will probably stop developm
