But in this case, isn't the "third party" just a piece of client-side software that performs a bunch of http requests to systems the client user is allowed to access, on a device the user is allowed to use, in order to aggregate the results and show them all in one spot? It's not being sent to third party systems off the user's phone. Banning it would be like restricting certain sql clients, like allowing the CLI clients, but banning pgAdmin or MYSQL Workbench. |

I also don’t really agree with the ban, and seriously doubt that they have any reason other than, “We dunno what this is, and are too lazy^H^H^H^H busy to think it through, give a decision, and deal this the precedent of allowing screen scraping and/or third-party clients.”
All I was trying to say is that while I may disagree with their call, I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s “nonsense.” Just wrong :-)
