And I look up the library and it has been abandoned for years.

03.12.2024 14:38 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I agree as well, I think if anything weβre all just a little frustrated given the current state of legal enforcement against major corporations. But the fact of the matter is, if info is out there, it can be replicated even beyond what our intentions and controls are and we do have to accept it.
03.12.2024 14:35 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Iβm not saying itβs a good thing that massive companies are leveraging our public data to train models that which they then profit of, but the biggest step one can take is just putting that content not out there to begin with. If thereβs no data, thereβs nothing to scrape.

B) You want to explain these methods to stop web scraping? Because those can be likely completely bypassed using tools like Selenium. And believe me when I say this, model trainers are using them.
It only gets compounded too when youβre unsure if itβs a missed requirement, a bug, or PEBKAC. π΅

If you donβt want people to leverage publicly accessible content, why post it publicly? If I say something outside and someone copies me, like what am I gonna do, tell them not to say it lol?
