If what you claim is true:

Users send THEIR FB data to him. That's their choice...FB sent data to the Users, they forwarded it to him. He's not hacking Facebook's data.

What they imply is not true at all.

The app author was banned specifically for the functionality of the app, and not any data collection[`].

> Facebook has gathered evidence that your Chrome extension "Unfollow Everything for Facebook" facilitates unauthorized functionality on Facebook. Specifically, your extension automates action on Facebook, including mass following and unfollowing of Friends, Pages, and Groups. Your extension also impermissibly makes use of Facebook's trademarks. These activities violate Facebook's terms.
