  • The company says the content served to bots is deliberately irrelevant to the website being crawled, but it is carefully sourced or generated using real scientific facts—such as neutral information about biology, physics, or mathematics—to avoid spreading misinformation (whether this approach effectively prevents misinformation, however, remains unproven).

    You cowards. Make it all Hitler fan stuff and wild Elon Musk porno slash fiction. Make it a bunch of source code examples with malicious bugs. Make it instructions for how to make nuclear weapons. They want to ignore the blocking directives and lie about their user agent? Dude, fuck ‘em up. Today’s society has made people way too nice.


  • what the fuck is wrong with these people?

    Complacency. Laziness. A comfortable life having been always the “right sort of people” who are privileged and protected within the system, drawing their six-figure salaries and having a position of power and respect, without having had to go out on a limb for it.

    For them to be cut off from their funding, officially having to exist outside the umbrella, is an existential threat. It’s unthinkable. It is the nuclear option in the face of which they would break any bond, betray any ally. Their bonds of allegiance weren’t really all that deep, in the first place, since they grew up with no strong culture of brotherhood with their allies in a noble struggle. They simply don’t want to be cast out in the cold. The prospect causes them to wail, it causes them to beg wretchedly on the floor.

    And, of course, they will be cast out. All they’ll get for their sniveling and the betrayal of their people they’re eagerly offering up to the Gestapo right now is a few months’ delay before it happens. They have probably been so soft and protected that they don’t realize that. They think they’re saving themselves, naivety being surely a big part of it, too.
