Can you remove the "Via _Application_" on Facebook wall posts via the API?

I ask because some of my users have made complaints that they want their comments sent to friends to look authentic. Thank you.

Well... I looked into this and it is not possible via the API. For anyone else out there struggling with this issue here are the different advices I've uncovered:

  1. You can set your logo to a white box which hides that visual element from the Via line.
  2. You can ask your users for their username/password and scrape/post data as you wish, but use the FB App as a jump-off for user buy-in.
  3. You can pick the most subtle name possible. Today, FB requires 6 or 7 characters for the app name.
