1. No, I'm just saying Facebook reacts very strongly to bad press. Maybe more or less strongly than other companies, but they don't typically take swift action on the platform (e.g., putting a 50-person company out of business overnight) unless there's a bad press story lurking somewhere.

That's their MO.

2. I know some of the parties involved, and Gambit wasn't doing anything differently than the other offer providers in this regard.

Even if they were being more aggressive, say, why not ban them until they cleaned up their act vs. banning them forever?

And why ban any developer who decided to use them, even if they were only serving up compliant ads?

Facebook was going so far as to send out C&Ds to developers using Gambit at one point.
