It sounds like he found the names on the company website and only used Facebook to get their FB IDs. Is that still against the TOS?

- mpeg 13y agoYes, it defintely is. The data needs to have either been obtained directly from the users complying with laws regarding PII or you need to have all necessary rights to use the data (if obtained from a third party) Names are definitely PII. In this case Facebook will probably turn a blind eye, but if stuff like this became widespread it would only lead to harder restrictions into who can advertise in fb (right now, anyone with a fb account can just add a funding source and start buying ads) I mean, people being able to advertise DIRECTLY to you in Facebook with absolutely no regard to privacy laws is a scary thought.
