    Okay,

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

    Edit: my problem isn’t robots.txt. It’s implied consent.

    If you are ever thinking, I wonder if I should ask, the answer is always yes. Doesn’t matter the situation. If you are not 1000% sure you have consent, you don’t. That’s just my ethics.

    If you want to propose a new standard, go nuts. But implied consent is not it.

    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?

    I guess I haven’t read a convincing argument yet why robots.txt should be ignored.

    Sure, I don’t think any disagrees that there’s side effects that aren’t good for anyone, never mind teens.

    But there’s nothing that you’ve written that’s specific to Tik Tok. It’s not substantially worse than American alternatives. Facebook has known for years the negative effect, study after study has come out. What legislation was passed to protect that?

    So why target Tik Tok specifically?






  • So who stores the login information? This is fundamentally the question here.

    If you store it centrally you only need to ask for username/password combo.

    But then someone needs to store it at a central location for everyone to check against.

    If it’s not centralized than the user needs to provide it

    Email has a hidden trick up its sleeve and that’s the domain name. In order for an email to be valid, the domain name must contain email info on its DNS records. There’s where you can imply knowledge about where the email/message is to go.

    But here in lemmy, my email is just Gmail. There’s no way to find the information on where authentication could be located. Which brings me back to the top of centralization vs decentralization.
