What? How does the DCMA apply here at all?
- sirclueless 6y agoThe DMCA has a couple major parts. The part most people are familiar with deals with safe harbor provisions and "DMCA takedowns". The relevant part for this discussion makes it illegal to circumvent digital access-control technology. So you could argue that if you have reasonable measures in place to stop automated access of your content such as robots.txt then Facebook continuing to send automated requests would be a circumvention of your access controls.
