These days its incredibly easy to find or write something up to extract data from a service. Take Spotify or Apple Music for example - its very easy to export out of either despite neither of it allowing it in their TOS or providing any tools to do so.
- joe_the_user 4y agoI suppose that's easy to get the contents of private Facebook groups, then? Notice, getting stuff out of Facebook - or Twitter or similar walled-gardens - is double quandary. How you do scan/scrape/whatever the data and how do you avoid being banned for doing so. This given the formats/apis etc constantly and the degree of abusive platform protection also changing (we've seen Twitter's upheavals, imagine a similar abusive dictator buying Facebook and see how much he can squeeze). And I'm sure someone will "you shoulda know about Facebook but my subscription sure ain't gonna trap me, no". Okay then...
