> it was harvested because of poor API policy which was fixed in the future

Is there any evidence that it was actually fixed?

They had a bunch of blog posts about restricting APIs like this[1]. I think someone can look at the current APIs and see what related friends information they allow. The last time I used FB APIs was in 2012 and the last time I used FB was in 2014, so not up to date with them.

I believe they made modifications after that, yes.

But if you believe they don't still provide access via substantially similar APIs to "trusted partners", I have a bridge that may interest you...
