Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.
I haven’t read wired in a few years, and it looks like I haven’t missed anything.

I had to ban their user agent after very aggressive scraping that would have taken down our servers. Fuck this shitty behaviour.
The charges this guy is facing are insane.
