In an update to its Platform Policy this week, the social network said it will no longer allow Pages to require a user to Like a Page to gain access to content, contests, apps or rewards. The new policy will take effect on Nov. 5, when any existing like gate will be disabled. Any app created between now and then will not be able to create a like gate.
