Good take, IMO ethically speaking we should not penalize scrapers themselves but do so based on their use.

Scraping Facebook to make a clone of profiles shouldn’t be held to the same scrutiny of scraping Facebook to do an internal analysis of user demographics for research purposes.

Why should either be discouraged?

Cloning profiles is what seems likely wrong to me but I'm not sure how that being done via scraping or not should matter.

With cloned profiles (or any data obtained and shared without your consent) it will be harder for you to exercise your right to be forgotten, for example.
