Bots aren’t people and can’t consent, sure - but they are tools that are wielded or deployed by people who absolutely can consent (setting aside whether click-wrap terms are enforceable or not). If I throw a brick through a window, it’s me in the shit, not the brick. |

Even more applicable, this is like saying that a person walking down the street can't have a camera and take a picture of the front of the building....
Because the page you land on when entering a url is in fact little different than a store front, with the associated signage and access points defining how a person or automated device may interact with that business.
If you want to have it different then you have to actually put everything behind a locked door with no window, right?
