Due to the nature of Facebook and how it hosts many of its own and third party
applications, the AVC engine treats “Facebook” as its own application type, which
includes both native and external Facebook applications. All Facebook applications,
except for Facebook Videos, are grouped under the Facebook application type.
Facebook Videos are grouped under the Media application type, enabling you to
apply bandwidth controls.

Facebook is constantly updating and changing its native applications. Additionally,
external Facebook applications are created and modified by third parties every
day. Because these applications change constantly, the AVC engine updates
its signatures to remain current with the available Facebook functionality and
applications.

The controls that are applied to users are determined by where the user is located
in the Facebook interface. For example, users can view photos from both Facebook
Photos and from their Facebook walls. That means when the user is viewing another
person’s photo in their photo album, the controls for Facebook Photos apply,
but when the user is viewing the same photo on their own Wall, the controls for
Facebook General apply.

Configuring Facebook Controls
Like other application types, you can block or allow the Facebook application type
or any of the particular applications included in that type. You can also apply more
granular controls to most native Facebook applications by configuring different
application behaviors, such as blocking the posting of text.

You can implement more granular controls to native Facebook applications using any
of the following application behaviors:
of the following application behaviors:
•
Block File Upload. This behavior blocks files uploaded to native Facebook
applications, such as Facebook Photos and Facebook Videos. This application
behavior does not affect links to external videos, such as YouTube. However,
YouTube links in Facebook are controlled by the configured YouTube AVC controls
in the Media application type.

• Block Posting Text. This behavior prevents users from entering text in fields, such
as comments, status updates, or Notes. Blocking this behavior for an application is
similar to making the application read-only.

• Block Like/Tag. This behavior blocks the ability to “like” a Facebook object, such

• Block Installation of Third Party Applications. This behavior prevents users from

Not all application behaviors apply to all native Facebook applications.
