Yup

Also! “What’s scraping?” To cut out a LOT of nuance: brute-force navigating the site/app and grabbing everything. Text? Copied. Images/videos? Downloaded. Images/videos that can’t be downloaded? Save the pixels. That’s why you should still use tools like Glaze/Nightshade.

Claim 2. “But 🦋 says other apps may not respect this setting?” ✅ True! However, any additional layer of obfuscation makes scraping a little more difficult. TLDR: 🦋 isn’t training GenAI with its user data. X doesn’t care about ethics, copyright, or the Block feature. 3/3 🦌

Claim 1. “But X forces logging in to see posts.” ❌ Not quite. Open a private browsing tab and look up a few artists’ X handles. You’ll be shocked when you see how many accounts X doesn’t force you to log in for. 🦋’s Logged-out visibility takes effect immediately, and blocks that workaround. 2/3 🧵

Biblically accurate
