Looks like scan is possible only against buddy list, in other words, this can't be used to scan just anyone at random. If that's true, there shouldn't be a reason for privacy concern. Just theorizing, I don't use messengers and related tools.

Well you can put any name in it and scan them. The user basically creates a bot account, which is separate from their messenger/email account, that enables the program to act independently from the messenger program.

Really? If that's the case, it is designed to bybass messenger's privacy features. Not good.
