Platform
Facebook launched the Facebook Platform on May 24, 2007, providing a framework for software developers to create applications that interact with core Facebook features. A markup language was also introduced, called Facebook markup language, which was used primarily to customize the "look and feel" of applications that developers created. This enabled Facebook itself to launch several new applications that tightly integrated with the Facebook system. These include the Gifts application, which allows users to send virtual gifts to each other, the Marketplace, allowing users to post free classified ads, Events, which gives users a method of informing their friends about upcoming events, and Video, an application that allows users to share homemade videos with one another.
Applications that have been created include chess and Scrabble, which allow users to play games against their friends. The games played are asynchronous, meaning that when a user makes a move in a game, it is saved on the server, allowing the next move to be made at any time in the future rather than immediately after the previous move Within a few months of launching the Facebook Platform, issues arose regarding "application spam", which involves Facebook applications "spamming" users to request that the application be installed. Application spam has been considered one of the possible causes to the drop in visitors to Facebook starting from the beginning of 2008, when the website's growth had fallen from December 2007 to January 2008, its first drop since the website first launched.

Privacy
There have been concerns expressed regarding the use of Face book as a means of surveillance and data mining. Theories have been written about the possible misuse of Face book, and privacy proponents have criticized the site's current privacy agreement. The policy states "We may use information about you that we collect from other sources, including but not limited to newspapers and Internet sources such as blogs, instant messaging services and other users of Face book, to supplement your profile." Face book has assured users that the next privacy policy will not include the clause about information collection, and has denied that any data mining is being done "for the CIA or any other group." However, the possibility of data mining by private individuals unaffiliated with Face book remains open, as evidenced by the fact that two MIT students were able to download over 70,000 Face book profiles from four schools (MIT, NYU, the University of Oklahoma, and Harvard) using an automated script, as part of a research project on Face book privacy published on December 14, 2005. A second clause that received criticism regards Face book’s right to sell users' data to private companies, stating "We may share your information with third parties, including responsible companies with which we have a relationship. Concerns have been raised regarding the difficulty of deleting user accounts on the website. Previously, Face book only allowed users to "deactivate" their accounts. This meant that their profile was no longer visible on the website, but any information that the user had entered into the website and on their profile still existed on the website's servers. This had concerned users who wished to permanently remove their account, citing reasons such as an overly embarrassing profile that may affect a future employer's decision in whether or not to hire someone based on what a user's online profile reveals. As of February 29, Face book has changed its account deletion policies, allowing users to contact Face book directly to request that a user account be permanently deleted from the website.
