"Facebook has blocked Path&amp;#039;s access to its &amp;#039;find friends&amp;#039; feature. The popular messaging app was updated on Friday with the ability to find friends on Twitter, Gmail and phone contacts - but not Facebook, which was previously available.   With access to Facebook&amp;#039;s API, Path was able to send download invitations and suggests to connect with friends on the app. It is thought that the move to block Path&amp;#039;s access to the social network&amp;#039;s friend finding API could be due to recent complaints of spam, according to TechCrunch. The report suggests that Path sent text invitations to users&amp;#039; contacts in the early hours of last week, resulting in a &amp;quot;significant backlash&amp;quot;. Path users are still able to login and share content using Facebook. Similar third-parties have also been blocked in the past, including MessageMe which had its access removed in March.
