There is a difference between dealing with a class B or C clearance while VFR and flight following. You can't deviate if you're given a clearence without asking first. Flight following isn't so much a clearance as them just watching out for you, be it in the terminal or enroute enviornment. You're not really violating anything by changing your altitude or route with flight following but it's bad form unless you tell them first. If you piss them off or act too amateurish, they might terminate you.
