Does the word “alias” somehow make the process kosher?

It is not the gotcha you think it is.

Not sure I understand what you mean, what "process"?. There shouldn't be any "gotchas" unless you are naive about how public service search engines operate.

Your comment tries to dismiss the argument by using softer terms like “alias” (and whataboutism but that’s a whole nother issue).

I am telling you that the word “alias” is not some gotcha that absolves Yandex of their actions like you imply.
