- defrost 1y agoUnlikely. There are many ways, at their scale they (Meta at least) probably have edge servers in ISP's across the planet and can easily mix their crawlers with residential IP addresses rotationally assigned by domestic ISP's they co-mingle with. Or some other way, legal but somewhat obfuscated.
- diggan 1y agoOpenAI i'm not so sure about, but since Meta already got caught downloading copyrighted material to train LLMs, I think it isn't far fetched for them to also use borderline illegal methods for acquiring IPs to use.
