Problem retrieving likes via the getLikes() function #153

Dear all, I assume it is due to the updated privacy policy on Facebook but I cannot retrieve any "likes" of a profile with my Facebook account. When using a user access token, the request getLikes("me", n=10, token) works just fine. But when I replace "me" with the id of another user, even a friend of mine of who I can see the likes on his Facebook page, i.e. getLikes("12345", n=10, token) I get:

Error in getLikes("12345", n = 10, token) : User not found, or token is not authorized.

I assume this is due to Facebook's update in policies. I also tried giving the User Access Token more permissions, attempted prior API versions (currently 2.10) and also tried it with the "application access token" as well. Nothing would work. Does anyone know how to overcome to the problem?

No, sorry! It seems disabled for good.
