Anyone who can look at the news and not understand never will.

We’re past the time of understanding the situation is my point. It’s time to riot.

And quibilling about how accurate a metaphor is at any given time is just as useful?

That’s not what a metaphor is?

It’s an analogy, not a script. Of course it’s not a perfect fit. Metaphors never do. And of course it changes and life itself changes.

Your getting mad about a metaphor when you should be getting mad about facsim itself. Getting mad at nothing is just distraction.

So what’s your point then. That the may be fascist but the Hitler comparisons are a line to far for you?

Okay,

They’re still fascist as fuck.

Okay,

So why should reinevent a standard when one that serves functionally the same purpose with one of implied consent?

From your own wiki link

robots.txt is the filename used for implementing the Robots Exclusion Protocol, a standard used by websites to indicate to visiting web crawlers and other web robots which portions of the website they are allowed to visit.

How is f3didn not an “other web robot”?

Robots.txt started I’m 1994.

It’s been a consensus for decades.

Why throw it out and replace it with imied consent to scrape?

That’s why I said legally there’s nothing they can do. If people want to scrape it they can and will.

This is strictly about consent. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should yes?

Why invent implied consent when complicit consent has been the standard in robots.txt for ages now?
