Quoting an email from someone you don't personally know and trust seems to
have a few potential pitfalls. The world is full of people who can follow
simple instructions (a polite way of saying idiots). Perhaps this was just a
suggestion meant to be helpful, and not an officical statement of FB policy?
Perhaps the FB person (if such a thing even exists), was hired 5 minutes
before this, and fired 10 minutes after, because of giving bad advice. What's
the point? One person says "blah, blah, blah...".

There is NO Linux app involved. It is a web application. Its uses a browser
(and probably Flash). 

It also NOT a FB application, it is provided as a plugin by a third party.
Complain to a) the people who wrote the app b) Adobe or c) browser vendor, but
I don't think FB should even care enough to respond.

Yea, but with facts, not hysteria based on year old emails from someone who
nobody knows anything about.
