I don't think we should expect Facebook to go digging into every scraping extension to see if the scraping is done to obtain user data vs. advertiser data (stuff Facebook is also trying to protect, mind you). Especially with the amount of obfuscation and extensions they likely need to deal with.

So Facebook's users rather than their raw materials.
