X/Twitter has updates its official Terms of Service to prohibit third parties from scraping or crawling its data.

But what if you do? Will you get caught?

I’m pretty sure both parties must agree to the terms before they legally bind anyone so wouldn’t this just apply to logged in users?

Good luck enforcing that.

Let the Supreme Court enforce it ;)

Lol this has the same energy as those NFT idiots crying about people taking screenshots of their stupid monkeys.

Noooo, stop scraping my dataaaa!

Never waste an opportunity to use “muh” in place of “my”

Crawling for me, not thee!

Might as well go whole hog and do the entire alphabet. Then do one for every iteration of every letter combination.

I thought this was an article about the X Windows system based on the preview for the article. Boy are those two similar-looking.
