Facebook broke both legal and ethical “ToS” countless times and has no plan to stop. Why do you consider what Facebook is doing as OK but a little web scraping for personal usage to be so bad?

As the saying goes: "two wrongs don't make a right." Facebook's ToS is still a ToS. If you want to scrape the data that they've collected, either risk your account due to it being against the ToS or collect the data yourself.
