    It’s illegal when a regular person steals something, but it’s innovation and courage, when a huge corporation steals something. Interesting how that works

      Honestly it’s fucking angering. So much regulation and geo-restrictions and licensing schemes… but it’s cool that there are data brokers, and shit like this. On top of it all Chrome screwing us with manifest v3 and killing ad blocking on chrome. It’s already in canary build.

      WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS SPECIES?!

      Any regular person can scrape and use public data for AI use, it’s not illegal for companies or individuals and it shouldn’t be.

        Data, network bandwidth, and CPU/Processing time from essentially every website in the world, and when you’re paying for cloud power to run your website the cost of webscrapers running a train on your digital asshole adds up QUICK.

        It’s why normal human being people get sued to shit for webscraping data from certain companies who care. But companies don’t get sued because go fuck yourself. Kill bytedance.
