A website that any old person can access means it's a website that any number of bots can crawl over and aggregate. Now you're basically back where we started with Facebook.
- walterbell 9y agoThere's a big difference between content aggregation (done by all search engines) and behavioral profiling (done by advertising companies, including social media).
- intopieces 9y agoSure, but that fact that the latter is supposedly not done on personal web pages doesn't mean it can't / won't be done on the data on, say, Mastodon instances.
- bogomipz 9y agoA crawler has no way of knowing whether or not I visited a site. A crawler doesn't have access to cookie data or HTTP access logs. So no we are not "back where we started with Facebook."
