But what if you do? Will you get caught?
If it’s publicly accessible it’s scrape-able. He already tried to make tweets not publicly accessible and look how long that lasted.
Yep, would never remember on the odd occasions I would look at Twitter, then just leave the site after being promoted to login
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”
No thanks!

He’s still mad at those researchers for scraping the data that shows that ever since he took over, the antisemitism, racism and general bigotry has gone up on the platform.
Good luck enforcing that.
Let the Supreme Court enforce it ;)
I hope someone makes some manic bot that scrapes every last tweet and posts it on a duplicate site call Y

Realistically, very little people know about x windows system even less care about it.
You could always join wayland.social
This is hilariously unenforceable as long as Twitter is on the public internet.
Just update robot.txt coward!
Took a look at their robots.txt, it appears to block all bots except Google.
Or just stop using X all together.
don’t!
You heard him, scrape more.
Crawling for me, not thee!
So he’s going to sue google then?
