3. What’s happening to “Like Gates?”
On August 7th, Facebook announced the following:
“You must not incentivize people to use social plugins or to like a Page. This
includes offering rewards, or gating apps or app content based on whether or not
a person has liked a Page. It remains acceptable to incentivize people to login to
your app, checkin at a place or enter a promotion on your app’s Page. To ensure
quality connections and help businesses reach the people who matter to them, we
want people to like Pages because they want to connect and hear from the
business, not because of artificial incentives. We believe this update will benefit
people and advertisers alike.”
Further clarified by Facebook
“…like-gating is now prohibited by policy. Apps created from today onwards
won't get the 'liked' boolean in the signed_request object on pages, and in 90
days time, for existing apps, this value will always be set to true.”
