Update: Original functionality has been restored it appears but it does feel like Facebook keeps pulling this periodically probably in order to pull in more sign ups.

Meta / Facebook are at it again, requiring you to login to Facebook just to view business pages and public community pages…

Seems phones may still have uninhibited access to pages marked as public. Desktops and Tablets appear to be affected.

I know this is in vain… Internet users of the world, please stop supporting these misbehaving tech behemoths. So tired of these corporates trying to monopolize and seize control of our lives.
