Scoble vs. Facebook
The issue of data portability, or who owns your personal information and friend lists online, has entered the news recently as
Facebook deleted the account of blogger Robert Scoble for using a script to automatically fetch his contact list
, in violation the site's terms of service (which prohibit scripts, as they can be used for spamming and such). Scoble's account has been reinstated, on the proviso that he doesn't do it again, but not before raising an outcry on
his high-profile blog
.
