No, I'm suggesting that the TOS could dictate that whether you are allowed to do it or not is entirely at Facebook's discretion, and they could choose to say that it isn't okay.

A lot of software licenses have a clause that basically allows the licensor to revoke the license on a whim.

Facebook can always give themselves the option to unilaterally decide to no longer serve you going forward. But that's not the same as Facebook being able to declare that arbitrary behavior is retroactively in violation of an open-ended clause of their TOS and therefore grounds for lawsuits and CFAA prosecution.
