It said previous governments did not follow their own rules. Separately, SCOTUS has said that the current executive doesn't have to follow rules at all.

Curiously, did this violation of rules occur before or after Biden had absolutely immunity? If after, then all that's needed is a claim that Biden ordered it, a claim by the current executive LOL.

The President is no longer bound by law so stopping this "tactic" is moot. The door is now wide open. The effect of this decision is merely to reverse a Biden-era action, it does not affect the executive branch now, they operate outside law.

'And lets not forget: this rule would affect more companies than just those that are "effectively stealing from people by making it impossible to cancel."'

Sure, to the benefit of consumers. Can't have that.

He believes he can be president, the Constitution is just a road bump. Republicans have succeeded in invalidating the Constitution for the current President and have also succeeded in invalidating any constitutional test for candidates of high office. The only challenge for Elmo is to seize control over a viable political party. His plan to to seize the Republican Party but that appears to already be blown. Presidency is certainly his plan.

"LLM crawlers are understandable these days, but who on earth is actively trying to take the FSF down?"
Sociopaths and teenagers. Same kinds of people that would claim that humans have a natural immunity to COVID in order to support Donald Trump.

Well if your career in IT is threatened by a loss of Emacs, at least you can fall back on your dev career or your professional photography business.

"Who would even notice or care?"
Other SuperKendalls you are showing off to on some forum. You know there are people that believe in damage for damage sake, you're one of them. That's entirely what MAGA is.

"Some of us will think of it as an attack when the bots ignore robots.txt (or honor changes very slowly), masquerade intentionally as something they are not, and use tons of different addresses hitting the same site, especially when it is continuous."

And what are the qualifications of this "us" you speak of? Why should anyone care what "us" thinks? More importantly, does "us" think that ignoring robots.txt is a DDoS attack? That's the subject of the article.

"...and use tons of different addresses hitting the same site, especially when it is continuous."
An LLM does this? Why?

"It took me hours of manually banning over a thousand IP addresses before the server could reasonably respond to web requests again."
That's not a DDoS, it's not even an attack. It's an underpowered server.
