- pavel_lishin 15y agoSomeone should write a quick bash script that'll automatically create a facebook account with random information, specifically for this type of circumstance. Obviously it would break the TOS, but it would give you a way of checking out some Facebook-only services. And if you have anarchist-leaning feelings, you'll also be sticking it to The Man by adding noise to their signal.
- ladon86 15y agoI'm pretty sure you can't create a working Facebook account using a quick bash script.
- pavel_lishin 15y agoThe biggest problem I can see is the e-mail verification, but I imagine even that sort of thing would be scriptable. It's all just squirting characters over HTTP, right?
- JonnieCache 15y agoIn theory, yes, but the problem with this kind of complex scraping is that you're constantly chasing the moving goalposts of facebook's code updates, which are frequent. See also: poker bots.
