It's likely that the tool (or - more precisely - the app id & secret) let people upload pictures into other people's accounts. Facebook couldn't let that stand.

Just deleting photos without a proper explanation of why you did so leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

I can see why people would be bitter... FB just deleted their photos because their upload method was "wrong".

If they said there was no possible way to examine the situation, or that they would restore your photos if you waded through an indemnification click-through, then OK, I can understand.

But just deleting the photos with no warning or even notification?
