But what if you do? Will you get caught?

    I’m pretty sure both parties must agree to the terms before they legally bind anyone so wouldn’t this just apply to logged in users?

    I thought this was an article about the X Windows system based on the preview for the article. Boy are those two similar-looking.

    Is this like some kind of reverse psychology shit, where a demand to not scrape or crawl the data is supposed to make people go oh, yeah, I must be missing some great data! instead of staying away from it in droves because X is the cesspool it has now become?

    I mean yeah, there is some fraction of good material there, but increasingly it is just the worst that society has to offer, the cockroaches that came scurrying out when Trump turned the light on for them.

    As an individual I want no part of that, yet it seems to me that before you’d spend time scraping or crawling data, you’d actually want the data. I would rather scrape catshit off my shoe than scrape that hot mess. At least catshit is more honest, and chances are lower that I will have to pick swastikas out of it.
