You can. That doesn't change the fact that they did not ask your permission to scrape your personal data from your personal website. They are many other sites that will do the same. Facebook profile seems to be safer option than personal website if you look at it from the angle of data privacy. You can't walk down the street wearing invisibility cloak in real life. Likewise, you can't have a rich digital life without leaving some of your data here and there. Maybe scraping personal data should be illegal.

I deleted my Facebook in 2012 because I don't like it. However, scraping user profiles is a privacy problem? What about archive.org that will scrape your personal website so you are never able to get rid of your previous version?

What happens if we end up using bitcoin (or any coin) for currency and then for some reason (like earthquake) we lose electricity for 24h or more... how we would be paying for things?
