Recent Hole In Your Facebook Data Coverage?

Recent changes to Facebook’s crawling policies have had a detrimental impact on some of our customers who were relying on other (black/grey market) third parties for their Facebook social media data collection strategy. I wrote about this dynamic and its potential fallout last month. These recent events underscore the risk and reality around relying on black market data in your business.

Gnip works with publishers, like Facebook and Twitter, to ensure our software is in clear, transparent, compliance with their terms of use/service in order to drastically reduce risks like this. All of Gnip’s data collection is above board and is done respectfully of the policies set forth by the Publishers you want data from. When you use Gnip for your collection needs, you don’t have to live in fear of being “turned off” or sued over data you shouldn’t have.
