There are all types of tools out that there that developer can create to still get access to the data, even though those Social Media sites shutoff access. Lets put it this way, it if comes across the wire in your browser the data can be automatically harvested and put into all types of database. Sites such as beenverified, instantcheckmate etc have already done it. You put in a phone number and bingo everything (pictures, home address, relatives, firearms licenses, court records, spouses, etc) comes up.
If you check in software developers forums you will many posts on how to automate logins into facebook.
Bottom line don't post anything on Social media.
Writing client programs do such tasks are very easy in programing languages java and C#. The software libraries will tell the host web server they are a browser USER_AGENT such as internet explorer, chrome, firefox, and/or a mobile device web browser. The documentation is pretty good. You can implement simple button clicks, filling in fields, download files, etc anything that a user would do on a browser. These libraries allow all the html content to be read into local variable with one call. The file downloading is very easy with just one line of code with the apache iocommons library.
