There's no concept of 'fair use' when it comes to terms of service, it's not like copyright, so 'research purposes' means nothing and grants you no special rights. Either use a service according to the terms, or don't and risk getting your account banned, IP blocked, etc. They might be more willing to grant written permission if it's for 'research purposes', but unless you get that permission, using pretty much any kind of automation against Facebook violates their ToS -- Before posting, please read http://watir.com/support.
