This is non-sequitur to my comment:

- GDPR doesn't require it be a convenient export. Users want to paste a link on my site, a click a button, and have it magically appear. Not fill out a form, dump their entire account and sift through that.

- I never opined on the validity of blocking bots

- I never opined on if it's breaking their TOS

Abuse implies a harmfulness. Giving users a quick import option from already public data isn't harmful.
