The issue with this sentiment, in my opinion, is that users have access to this data by logging in and they've provided the app with that access by providing their credentials. Unless a court is going to go down the road of preventing users from sharing their own information, I don't see how AA can do anything about this. If you can view this info in a web browser, you can scrape it.

They'll invent some "acceptable use policy" document that says you can only talk to their servers using their software which of course does what they want, namely monetize your attention by showing you ads. Then they'll trick and coerce people into accepting or signing it.
Complete bullshit but it's totally something these judges would understand. One would think these people would actually protect consumers from corporation abuse...
