"But you agreed to this scraping when you signed the terms and conditions"
I agree with you, but technically that argument is true
And as for Google, in theory a robots.txt would block their scraper.
FB and LinkedIn both scrape contacts (and who knows what else), from their users email accounts (and surely lots of other darker sources as well). Pretty much all of Google's search engine's content is scraped from other websites.
