The authors of the title most likely wanted to suggest a similarity between metas use of the data and scraping.

In some legislations there are rules about scraping. And for many less technical people it sounds scary.

Au contraire. By calling it wrong you get the clicks and muddle legislation discussions. The Conversation will start with anti scraping, but then every user "gave" metabook the images and accepted privacy terms...
