Web scraping is legal and even if it wasn't there is no way you can prevent it. Don't upload stuff on a public website if you don't want it scraped/harvested.

- Nextgrid 5y agoAgreed. The problem here as I understand is that Facebook misled users about how "private" their info actually was.
- jandrese 5y agoThis is why I tell people to treat anything the put on the internet as public information. This includes cloud storage. If you have to put it up there then you encrypt it yourself before uploading. It only takes one compromised person/machine in the company to undermine all of that company's promises to you.
