> had some amount of data collected Ratio of followed people to total connections. I think it makes no sense to ban an extension for that, and I don't think that's why they banned it. Instead, it could have threatened their bottom line, that's the problem. It's reasonable important to get some tiny insight in if one's extension works or not. They could have communicated with him and the University about what data to gather, for those who opted in.

It's a red herring. Here's what Facebook actually wrote as the reason for the ban[1]: > Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension "Unfollow Everything for Facebook" facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates action on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups. Your extension also impermissibly makes use of Facebook's trademarks. These activities violate Facebook's terms.
