If let's say I built an extension that allows people to scrape things on demand and the extension sends that data also to my servers, removing PII in the process, would that be allowed?
Imo, users should be allowed to use automation tools to access websites and collect data. Most of these sites thrive off of user generated content anyways, for example Reddit is built on UGC. Why shouldn't people be able to scrape it?
