Comment on X to pause using European user data to train AI systems
Pika@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoThat’s true as well that I hadn’t thought of, one could just spin up a VPS in a country that doesn’t give a shit about licensing agreements and Federate/subscribe with everyone and scrape that way. The only real defense against that is the federation, but that system isn’t very advanced and is easily bypassable if you don’t have a bunch of users

Better yet, just spin up your own instance, subscribe to all major communities, and have the servers push the comments to yours. No scraping required, and nobody will ever find out it was you.
Statistically it’s likely to have happened already.
