As soon as you need to put a "decode" button for accessibility functions to work, you're effectively posting the key along with the cipher. It's self-defeating

As soon as you need to put a "decode" button for accessibility functions to work, you're effectively posting the key along with the cipher. It's self-defeating because any tool that supports screen readers will also support scraping. It's a fool's errand.
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2mo agoAccessibility isn't optional, so what do you propose?
- kstenerud 2mo agoI propose using the internet the way it was designed: Open and readable by everything (including bots). Scraping is a legal issue. There is no technical prevention mechanism that isn't theater.
- mschuster91 2mo ago> Scraping is a legal issue. The problem is... it's a legal issue we cannot solve. America and China are large enough to not give a fuck about what everyone else wants.
- tekne 2mo agoA better technical solution imo is more P2P hosting -- say content addressing. Something designed to deal with the scrapers -- and maybe even make them bear infrastructure costs.
