What makes you think it would be for web scraper detection vs user fingerprinting?

  Because they had a lot of trouble with sham sites generated by their content.

    They literally provide full website dumps of all the content: https://stackoverflow.blog/2014/01/23/stack-exchange-cc-data-now-hosted-by-the-internet-archive/ https://stackoverflow.blog/2014/01/23/stack-exchange-cc-data... (yes, the post is old, but they still update the archive).

  Is there a difference? I mean, slightly different ends, but both very much benefit from fingerprinting.
