Nick O’Neill at AllFacebook is on top of a new change- Facebook is trying to eliminate forced invitations.

Any user is familiar with the trend- unscrupulous developers have been forcing users to invite friends in order to use an application. The recent change at least appears to stop it.

However, as a few commenters noted, there are workarounds to Facebook’s mandate. It remains to be seen whether this new change will kill forced invites or merely slow them down. Either way, it’s good to at least see some progress.
