@stux https://techcrunch.com/2025/08/04/perplexity-accused-of-scraping-websites-that-explicitly-blocked-ai-scraping/Once you put information out there, it appears corporations and other unscrupulous actors take that as an invitation to use the "free data" for whatever they want. They have weaponized it more than once (clearview, et al.) and I see nothing that prevents them from doing this again. "Public domain", they'll cry. I've minimized my web presence, but there's nothing to suggest they will stop at what they consider "public domain".
