I did something similar many years ago, exporting my Facebook data and plotting a simple force-directed graph [1] of my network, it was quite interesting how meaningful groups and connections emerge: https://wechoosethemoon.es/assets/img/posts/colores.png

So it's a bunch of EU Germans receiving payment for downloading your entire social graph and click-jacking your facebook session (this looks to be a chrome extension that would have access to everything, not something that uses even the marginally-permissioned oauth API).
1. Where is the GDPR privacy notice?
2. In light of all the cambridge analytica fallout, where is ANY privacy notice?

can't upvote this enough!! I half expected this to be a psychological experiment to see if users use something like this after the Cambridge Analytica fallout

True I bought this as a one off since this was the only tool I found to gather the data easily.

Very interesting! This tool only seems to collect the profile picture and provide a basic laggy interface to view it. Likely the tool you used previously for this dones't work thanks to API Facebook changes.

Indeed...although from testing this the only thing they gather are the names and mutuals of your facebook friends with profile pictures.
