I deleted my Facebook in 2012 because I don't like it. However, scraping user profiles is a privacy problem? What about archive.org that will scrape your person

  You can prevent crawling (and retroactively remove your site content from the Internet Archive) using robots.txt, with the ia_archiver user agent: https://www.fightcyberstalking.org/how-to-block-your-website-from-the-wayback-machine/ https://www.fightcyberstalking.org/how-to-block-your-website...

    You can. That doesn't change the fact that they did not ask your permission to scrape your personal data from your personal website. They are many other sites that will do the same. Facebook profile seems to be safer option than personal website if you look at it from the angle of data privacy. You can't walk down the street wearing invisibility cloak in real life. Likewise, you can't have a rich digital life without leaving some of your data here and there. Maybe scraping personal data should be illegal.
