What would you want to scrape there which is not against their ToS and a violation of user privacy in general?
- tyingq 8y agoI wouldn't mind a personal scraper that pulls down the family updates and pictures I want and puts them somewhere private where I can see them. Would get rid of the clutter and keep FB from some amount of shenanigans with my browser.

- leetbulb 8y agoAs the saying goes: "two wrongs don't make a right." Facebook's ToS is still a ToS. If you want to scrape the data that they've collected, either risk your account due to it being against the ToS or collect the data yourself.
