| I'm not a hardcore Facebook user. There are some pages I visit regularly without logging in just navigating there via browser and reading the posts.
Starting from today all pages require login, including many pages I tried from news sites to car manufacturers. Even facebook.com/facebook behaves this way.
Does anyone know the reason, and whether it is a permanent or temporary change? Is the any relation with the design upgrade?
I'm from Hungary.
Thank you. |

Because it's Facebook. They did it to Instagram because that's also Facebook.
They will do whatever it takes to get 'real users' logging in and not window shopping on their website.
