- baddox 8y agoHow is that a violation? I don’t think the author created the account in an automated way, and the “collection information” clauses are so vague I have no idea what they actually mean.
- zrobotics 8y agoHe literally built a scraper to directly take content from other Instagram pages, and a ML classifier to select what to post. The account is 100% automatically run, he states that he has not logged in since creating the account. I fail to see any way that that isn't a TOS violation.
