Funnily enough I had switched my Facebook account to SSL automatically a while and completely forgot about it. I ran the app on my phone and was surprised it worked.

It seems that some "application" that I had used on Facebook required SSL to be temporarily disabled. I don't remember an application saying that SSL had to be disabled, and I'd be the sort of person to read these things. I'd worry that this would be a problem for less techy users.

SSL should be an opt-out feature for anything that harbors personal information. I can only assume that this isn't the case due to the extra server overhead that FB would have to deal with ?

Just a random somewhat on topic thought ... Facebook is becoming more and more a spammers haven thus degrading user experience. For past six months I havent really clicked on anything my friends shared and or liked on FB unless I am familiar with the domain name. The spammers are taking over and they need to ring it in quickly or another network needs to rise in popularity. Maybe the downfall of Facebook will be the 650 million(out of 700 million) non tech savvy users who keep falling for scam after scam?
