You're also granting the extension access to your friends' data, given that it can see everything that you can. Your friends consented to show that data to you, but not to the extension developer. Your friends' consent is not transitive.
- noxer 5y agoStill not FBs business. If I copy my friend private photos they would not care either. They are not representing my friend interest neither legally nor in any other way.
- itg 5y agoNo, Fb is doing the correct thing in this case. If I upload data to Fb, I expect Fb not to allow others to scrape it. I gave pictures/info to Fb, not to you because you had a browser extension installed.

- alistairSH 5y agoHow is this any different than your friend saving the photo you posted and then showing it to her co-workers (or whoever else)? Are you are arguing that Facebook should disallow copying/downloading of any content on its network?
- daxuak 5y agoI agree with the sentiment, but the line between read-and-record permission vs read-and-brun permission is really vague here. Scraping is exercising the right to read is the right to download in an automated manner on behalf of a user. Scraping bans (not limited to FB) are more of a commercial practice rather than caring about user consent/privacy imo. Personally I don't think access should be given based on assumption of the query's intention (daily browsing vs scraping data for analysis authorized by someone), but like r/w/x and user group, i.e. if you can view, then you can view and record. Otherwise either no access granted, or burn after read.
- lamontcg 5y agoYou realize that is completely unworkable, and anyone can take a picture of the screen of the photos that you upload and share them. Don't post anything on facebook that you don't want the whole world to know.
- noxer 5y agolol you can expect whatever form FB but they dont care. And if you gave access to the data to other people FB cant and wont do anything to prevent thous people from accessing the data and if access is possible scraping is too.
- LeifCarrotson 5y agoI'm not entirely sure I agree that Facebook is in the right here - analyzing the ads that are shown to you is different from downloading photos you uploaded. However, your principle argument that there's a difference between Facebook serving pictures to friends and massive, automated serving of pictures to bots and scrapers. I understand that there's no good way to differentiate, and that the bits that are sent over the network are the same regardless of who is consuming them, and that my friends have the technical capability to upload the images elsewhere. But just as you get different outcomes between one situation with an individual policeman watching traffic, pulling over reckless vehicles or tailing a suspect vehicle with a known license plate and another compared to a network of automated license-plate readers and speed cameras tracking the city-wide movement of lawful and criminal people alike, you get different outcomes when you differentiate between bots and live users.

- jasonlotito 5y agoNo. That's incorrect. The data they were gathering was advertiser data, not your friend's data.
- mdoms 5y agoRead again what the extension does. You're so far off base.
- HWR_14 5y agoIs this an argument about what an extension can do or what this extension does? It appears not to read any data on your friends at all.
