I tried to register a new account with Google yesterday to use their latest model, but they banned me after, like, five minutes. They asked me to scan a QR code with my phone and even asked for a selfie. After I completed all the steps, they told me I might be using a bot and that my account had been deleted...

But apparently, it’s okay for that same Google to unleash bots to scrape entire websites...

Anti-bot arguments are pro-platform control of user behavior.
