To be fair, it's only a matter of time before Apple patches this, or in this case, Facebook "pushes a fix".

Otherwise the advice is sound, disabling backround app refresh is the better approach if you care about the app functionality and don't want to use the sub-par mobile browsing experience.

There's no need to lose out if you don't want to, regardless of the sensational headline.

I don't think that's being "fair" to the consumer. Sure it may get fixed in the future, but it's an issue now. And even if/when this specific issue got fixed, you can bet Facebook and others will look for other ways to get around this "limitation".
