> If I tell you not to ssh into a computer I own, and take no further steps to prevent you from doing so, it's still illegal.

What if you tell me to stop doing it, but my friend is allowed and he types all of the commands that i tell him to type and then he sends me the data? That's why it doesn't quite make sense.

It doesn't make as much sense for a publicly accessible website and user tokens. It makes sense from a tort point of view, but not from a criminal point of view. The next step away would be for users to install an app that logs into facebook and forwards the data to the centralized server.
