Has American democracy been contacted out to Facebook? FYI Google created search by scraping sites.
- threeseed 8y agoGoogle never created search. According to Andreessen they were the 23rd company he saw. And by then there were established controls to stop Google from indexing your sites i.e. robots.txt. These Russian companies are not following the rules Facebook has set so it's not really analogous to Google.
- cft 8y agoNot obeying robots.txt is at most a civil matter, such as Craigslist vs. 3Taps (largely unsettled btw, because internet is public by design). My question still stands.
