This is my #noobquestion of the day.

#tumblr and #wordpress are apparently going to sell data for #aiscraping but what prevents the #scrapers from freely accessing the #fediverse and feasting on it at no cost?

And, if the answer is "nothing", how or where can one post their shit online without having to think about being scraped?

Is there any way to prevent it at all, like those poisoning tools for images?

Scraping truly oughta be opt-in, FFS.
