What the fuck is Facebook doing forcing secure browsing now? AFNET (the USAF's network) blocks virtually anything from Facebook sent via HTTPS (including the scripts which control everything), so I can't even change my Security Settings back to normal HTTP browsing, and I can't see shit aside from basic text (no formatting, photos, etc.).

I went outside with my iPhone, fired up Safari, logged on to Facebook so I could backdoor change the settings back to normal HTTP browsing, and the iPhone decides, "Hey, you're on a mobile phone so we'll just send you to 'm.facebook.com' which is designed for cell phones." Of course, you can't change normal browser settings from the mobile version, so I'm fucked.

I don't mind so much the aesthetic changes, but don't fucking brute force change my privacy and security settings behind my back because you think it would be better for me.

Can you do this if you jailbreak your phone?

On android certain browsers don't handle 'desktop mode' properly when you want to avoid the mobile caricatures of websites, but others do quite nicely at making the websites think you are on a PC not a phone.

Facebook required Developers to start using HTTPS for all Canvas and general app uses early last year or late 2011. Its annoying, but given how many of the Facebook apps use Java or Flash and the vulnerabilities of each, it makes sense. Probably not something they should have forced without ample notice, but a sensible idea.

EDIT: Can't remember how I did it, but I know I accessed the full FB site on my iPod Touch last year when I was having some issues with the app and the mobile site wasn't making me happy.

I never use my iPhone browser and use the Facebook app with accessing FB on my iPhone. I only tried this so I could backdoor my way in and reset my browser-based settings back to HTTP. I can wait until I get home where Facebook isn't all but blocked by AFNET and flip the setting back.

Those two things just piss me off: 1.) Facebook arbitrarily fucking with your shit, and 2.) AFNET doing shit ass-backwards (allowing non-secure FB traffic while blocking secure FB traffic).
