Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence

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.
Take it easy. artyom might just be mistaken you don’t need to turn it into a class war.
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.
