Am I the only one who has trouble believing that someone who was at a technical level involved in scraping and running facial recognition on 200k photos would genuinely answer "Not very?".

I’ve implemented a few scrapers for various purposes, and run bulk data analysis over the results.

It was years ago, and it was not very difficult.

I’d guess this would be an easy summer intern project for a bright undergrad.

Would the same bright undergrad be likely to believe that stopping scraping on a service with a billion users is an easy problem?
