Technically speaking, the TOS allows Google to kick any user who gets their stuff from Facebook This would be bad for Facebook, but it would be bad for Google and Yahoo, too: they would anger their users by frustrating a reasonable use of their service. Those users might just take their email and leave. Is the same true for Facebook? If you get kicked from Facebook, where else will you go? You might say "I'll just take my friends and start my own Facebook!", but you won't be able to unless you somehow got around their monitoring. (Not a difficult problem in principal, but tough for the non-savvy.) Would a service that exports Facebook contacts be illegal? What about a piece of software that does so?
