"Help me to understand something"

#PokemonGO: Why does the silph road endorse the modding of the pogo plus? Every time that I see a post of one of these mods, it makes it so that the device runs itself with no interaction from the user. How is this any different than someone that writes a program to automate the game?Example: Botting. Someone wrote code to catch pokemon with no interaction from the user.Or another example: Spoofing. This automates the movement of the avatar but the interaction to catch/spin is still based on user input.Yet it's ok to mod hardware to perform actions in place of the user? I don't see a difference between the two/three. Or do we just turn a blind eye to it because the terms of service don't specifically mention hardware modding?Can someone shed light on the subject for me? via /r/TheSilphRoad http://ift.tt/2q3z5so
