Aaron was not charged with scraping public servers, he was charged with unauthorized access. He “hacked” the server. Meta just scraped publicly accessible information.

Bruh, can you lick metas boots any harder? There’s so many examples of them using unauthorized access even long before llm’s were a thing…but even if that wasn’t the case, they just fucking bragged about their “ai” hacking other companies. Stop spreading lies for the billionaires, it’s pathetic.

At this point it already has been turned into a class war. They get away with so many crimes and just a slap on the wrist. If an individual does it life sentences. Almost like the laws are made to be broken by the rich.

I’m not pretending there isn’t a class war. That would be dumb.

When people start acting like the class war is happening right here between their fellow fedi citizens, that’s when it becomes a bit unhinged.

Between equals it’s not a class war though, it’s infighting. And agreed, we should avoid that. Rich parasites love to see us divided.

I am not “licking boots”, I am discussing facts. And I’m gonna keep doing it.

Sure, there’s an endless list of awful things they’ve done, but that’s not what’s being discussed here.

I’m not talking about random awful things they’ve done I’m talking specifically about unauthorized access issues which is literally what you named as being the difference. Get some reading comprehension.

Correct, that is the difference between what I said and what the author said. The author is talking about scraping. Get some reading comprehension. You don’t even have to read the article, it’s literally in the title.

The article is trash, we’re talking about your comment, hence why I replied to you. You lied just like the article did.

If an AI company ignores robot.txt exclusions and scrapes a site, then turns around and sells that content as a service, is that unauthorized access?
