In my opinion, breaking a click-through license agreement or violating the small print on some dense and difficult to read web page is hardly an issue of morality or ethics.

Let's also remember that a big reason Meta is hating on scraping is because of their own problematic behavior. It wasn't so long ago that they were suing NYU over research on political ads and how Facebook targets their readers.[0] In fact, it wouldn't surprise me if Meta's larger goal is to prevent this sort of research.
