Except it's not really unauthorized access if the owner of the account allows you to publish in his/her name, is it?


I suspect lawyers could figure out the ToS so that it is.


That wouldn’t be “criminal” — a TOS violation isn’t “prosecuted” as its civil. And, the aggrieved party would have to prove actual damages.


Unauthorized access in connection with fraud, for example. I'll let the lawyers figure it out, and I hope they do.
