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 ?
