@sydflash: First paragraph of TFA:

@sydflash: Nothing illegal about what they did. Also nothing illegal with the owner removing said device. No laws broken, no probable cause needed.

@sydflash: They do not need probable cause either because what they are doing is legal for anyone to do.

@Quotidian_Hr: I had it disabled for me by Facebook. I went to login a few days ago and it demanded I verify my account by giving them my cell number so they could send a text message?
