I was talking about the reality of the US, but even if I was talking about Europe: how does the GDPR even enter this equation here? I was never asked for consent to have my face recorded when I get into a shop in Germany. Were you?

They don't, but there is a significant chance that their "security solution" uploads all the data to a cloud provider (Amazon, Google, Oracle) which will be more than happy to analyze the data for them.

We are not talking about the same thing, it seems. I can understand a web page that doesn't work without javascript. What I do not understand is someone going through all this work of putting an AI-scraper tarpit on Mastodon, a system
