I went looking for the (Chrome) Extension and found:

https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/unfollow-everyone-...

It's called "Unfollow Everyone" though. Is it the same thing? The only clue about the developer identity is the email address, 'easwarismyname@gmail.com' and the developer is "TMP".

I'm curious -- if FB pressures Goog to delist the extension, would this open them up to anti-trust action?

Also I wonder if the Everyone -> Everything was a mistake, or an intentional misdirect to avoid a Streisand effect?



> would this open them up to anti-trust action?

IANAL. I understand anti-trust regs to work at a market level. FB asking for an extension that interacts solely with their wholly-owned, private platform doesn't affect the larger social media market at all.


That's a different one. Unfollow Everything has been taken down.
