> consent I mean the entire industry is based on doing stuff without seeking consent. All the major players seem to have used at some point at least the books dataset so def no regard for consent or copyright. Bigger issue is mechanical limits like Twitter and Reddit - walled gardens of info. That could entrench existing players, whether via money (pay me for data), ethics (oh now suddenly consent matters) or just timing (more stuff mechanically restricted)
