If it's in Facebooks TOS that you need to access their site specifically through them then yes, Power.com is in the wrong.



Facebook doesn't get to define or create laws and ethics through their TOS.


Then they should ban the users who access through a proxy. A site can't put up a TOS that says you can't access through a proxy and then wait for it happen to sue. The web would be chocked full of liabilities if shit like that were allowed to happen. Searching Google would be too dangerous, what if one of the sites in a SERP had a TOS against coming from a referrer?
