23 Since June 23rd, 2015 facebook.com deprecated the RSS feed endpoint for public pages:
24 https://developers.facebook.com/docs/apps/changelog#v2_3_90_day_deprecations
26 They suggest to use the Graph API but they fail to mention that it does not
27 work anymore without authentication, so it cannot be considered an
28 _equivalent_ solution.
30 Luckily we've got Tweeper!
