Okay, I agree this a grey and perhaps questionable area.
This seemed to be something legitimate people/users were doing a lot, so we gave them a building block to make it easier. Maybe we should have thought about it more.
We'll take a step back from that path if our bots become a nuisance on social media. In all honesty, we built axiom with other things in mind (e.g. Repetitive data entry and admin).
- alwayseasy 6y agoIt's not grey it's a TOS violation. Facebook goes after these types of bots ruthlessly, especially in election season. I'd recommend not poking that bear, you have so many market opportunities!
- yaseer 6y agoOkay, we'll take this on board! It was honestly just some user requests we integrated without enough thought, not something nefarious. This isn't our market by any means.
- fenwick67 6y agoNo, we disagree because it's pretty black and white. It wasn't hard to Ctrl+f for "like" and "automat" in the TOS. Your team needs to do better.
- yaseer 6y agoLook, we've changed position and agree with you. The point I thought was 'grey' was whether automated likes harass people (Liking to build a following is now part of the standard Instagram marketing playbook). That is not worth debating though - we agree that TOS are violated. We were wrong and you are correct.
