      If they could somehow make this data available to search engines. Maybe we can start being able to google random problems and actually find solutions again.

        What kind of foolish optimist are you? Search engines are to make profit, not help you find that obscure answer to your urgent question

      the content being scraped is from users, they do not control what bots are added to servers.

      It’s much more like the Cambridge Analytics scandal in that users posted content that was shared with friends but not explicitly shared publicly, but those friends then granted a third party access to all of the data.
