Adding difficulty in acquiring the popular devices, Facebook has changed the terms of their marketplace to effectively ban sales of streaming media players known for accessing illegal or pirated content. The removal comes on the heels of similar decisions made by eBay and Amazon to block the "fully-loaded" boxes for sale in their respective domains.
Facebook's Commerce Policy now describes "Products or items that facilitate or encourage unauthorised access to digital media" as "prohibited".
As previously reported, these devices in their base form harbor no illegal activity. Yet, the ease of installing plug-ins to access pirated content can be a large factor in purchases. Kodi was not specifically named in these updated terms, nonetheless targeted hardware is powered by the now-controversal software.
