That's not a very good constraint.
- yk 8y agoMy point is, that after reading the NYT article twice, I see several different interpretations, and the difference between the interpretations runs from FB is trying to do the right thing, to FB is outright lying. (And that it is pretty hard to write an article that nails down one of the interpretations without going into more technical detail than is possible in an article for a general audience.) I agree that such a TOS is not a strong constrain, it is not technical and it is easily cirumvented, by just not using that specific api and instead getting the same data from the OS.
