Well yes, but they can dictate whether you can use their service with these add-ons (or at all, for that matter).

And irrespective of this opinion, CA backfired spectacularly on them, so it's not totally unreasonable for them to enforce that right.




I agree with you that they have the right to deny service, and scraping at scale is not same as regular queries. Suggesting FB's react was meant to protect (not theirs) data is what I feel not about right, though.
