Hmmm...Ethical question here


Recommended Posts

As some in here know I have created a bot to interface to a particular Facebook game.

 

Now here is the question.

 

It would be REALLY easy to add the logic to the bot to automatically add the current active Facebook user to a Fan/Group page and do the necessary click to the Send request.

 

I was thinking this could be a sort of Self-Registration or even a type of security step (run the bot if you are a member of a group or Stop the bot if not).

 

What do you guys think? (No I have not implemented it)

Good idea <evil grin>.

 

Actually there is no ethical dilemma if you make it part of the terms of the license of your bot. I don't know that I'd join anyone to a group without their knowledge or without some kind of agreement even if it is buried in some small print.

Yeah I guess I was missing the evil grin piece.

 

I'm definitely going to do more testing with this. I think there is some good to this but as with anything responsibility needs to be used.
