Heh. I figured Facebook’s data portability “initiative” was nothing more than panicked lip service. Today they’ve banned Google Friend Connect from the Facebook API.
Here’s the funny part: they say it’s because Google Friend Connect “redistributes user information from Facebook to other developers without users’ knowledge.” Ha! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!

Mere days after the announcements of MySpace Data Availability and Facebook Connect, Google comes out with a lighter but wider social network data portability initiative. Last night at the Googleplex saw the announcement of Google Friend Connect, a set of widgets that lets any site plug itself into its readers’ social graphs on multiple social networks.
