Full on FBI background check? Do it. Want the keys to accessing my personal life? Fuck off, its called ‘personal life’ for a reason, it is none of your business.

If you’re going to quote my post, at least read the parts before deleting them from the quote. Facebook ToS was mentioned.

Giving out your Facebook information to other parties is against your agreement but it’s not illegal. Facebook can’t get you arrested for giving your mom or wife your login info, they can just deny service.

If going against ToS was a legal issue I’d have a field day with some forum members. :ponder
