The problem with TransferWise from a business perspective is that the money appears on your bank statement to have come from a local bank account, of a party different from the party that is supposed to have paid your invoice. That's a

I believe it is a combination of things: * the regulatory environment is tough on businesses: it's hard to start one and follow all the rules. The rules can also be different across EU states. * poorer local market. Europeans generally

First off, robots.txt is optional. It's neither a technical nor a legal limitation at this point. Second, OP's argument suggests a UI option that gives or removes user consent from all robots in general. Unless they plan to word i
