    The title is a bit misleading. The issue here is data scrapers, period. They aren’t being deployed by an AI, and the bots don’t have any AI algorithms in them. It’s stuff deployed by people, using traditional data scraping algorithms.

    It’s just the presumed destination of the data being scraped, combined with the fact that the people who run these bots tend to never respect consent
