Facebook has decided to disable the Whopper Sacrifice application. It’s interesting thatÂ theyÂ would shut down an application that has proved so popular, butÂ perhaps for Facebook, an application that reduces your friend listÂ is bad for business? I can’t think of any other reason they would do so.Â Over the time that the Whopper Sacrifice campaign was live, 233,906 friends were sacrificed by Facebook users in the pursuit of a free Whopper.

Update: TechCrunch is reporting that Facebook is citing “privacy issues” as the reason they have disabled the application.
