They probably assumed that if devs couldn't access the data anymore it wouldn't be a problem in the future.

Sounds like they'll make the developer agreement legally binding so they can take legal action for violating the ToS.

I kind of doubt that this action will stop all of the devs that check in their api keys into public repos everyday that are then used by other parties, but at least it will allow facebook to cover their ass a bit more.
