  • No it wouldn’t have.

    Licensing isn’t 1 sided. You have to have both parties AGREE to the license.

    In this case it’s just text on each message.

    The reason OpenAI was able to scrape the internet largely consequence free is because they never agreed to the ToS of the websites, thus they are not bound by those terms.

    I agree that it isn’t right or morally correct, but legally it’s okay.

    Additionally, by signing up to Lemmy, they grant certain rights and privileges to their instance and others due to agreeing to the license.

    In fact, lemmy could make it easier for scrapers, as lemmy will happily deliver content to your instance, simplifying scraping.















  • Anti Jewish sentiment has been a long standing thing.

    It stems a lot of things, but I think it’s mainly from Christian’s in the olden days not being allowed to loan money with interest, so the Jews filled this role. They also are very insular and tend to marry within their sect.

    Due to their ability to charge interest, they quickly became rich.

    Imagine you are a ruler, and you have these religious folks who have massive amounts of wealth and thus influence, don’t share your religion and beliefs, etc. It’s also easy for less educated to believe they control everything, when the Jews are controlling a large part of banking.

    It becomes advantageous to push anti Jewish sentiment and say they are evil, etc.

    Again, my opinion and I could be wrong
