Yes! Amazing!
The downfall is finally happening. It is one thing about scraping data from people for free, but most will never pay a cent for it.
They're charging for premium features, not for basic access to the service.
People on Facebook after a certain point willingly gave up their name and address to sign up for it; I kinda doubt they know or care about their data being scraped.
I was truly shocked when this happened. I read about it and was like: haha, no one is giving out their real adress and or phone number on the internet. How dumb do they think people are? Oh...
