Alternative Title: “Dude discovers TOS” lmao

@gregthwuen Год назад

If you never registered an account on LinkedIn and never accepted the TOS, you can't violate the TOS. Of course your country's laws still apply, which may prohibit sth like web scraping.

@carlosalba9690 Год назад

@@gregthwuen it’s not illegal to scrape web data generally speaking. But the LinkedIn EULA applies to any person or entity that uses LinkedIn. If you don’t agree you’re expected to not use the software and delete it. Any person or entity that uses LinkedIn is also subject to the LinkedIn User Agreement, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. On the second bullet point of section 8.2 of LinkedIns user agreement they explicitly state that you will not “Develop, support or use software, devices, scripts, robots or any other means or processes (including crawlers, browser plugins and add-ons or any other technology) to scrape the Services or otherwise copy profiles and other data from the Services;” Users of a website do not need to be registered in order to be considered users. LinkedIn differentiates between “Members” and “Visitors” in their paperwork. LinkedIns policy is not the law of land at least in the US but they can send cease and desist , ban you and even sue you for violating their terms. This also applies to folks in the EU as far as I remember.

Real talk! Once my LinkedIn profile became popular, my fucking work inbox looks like a spam bomb went off. It doesn't matter how many I block. There are endless solicitors constantly offering me endless Stanley and Yeti mugs, gift cards, and airpods to set up a meeting about such and such ducking IT service. Just in the two mins typing this I got two more. These fucking solicitors are the worst man. It's to the point that when I get free time, I'm writing a selenium/ai bot to go through and delete/block them for me because it's that fucking disruptive to my work. LinkedIn is evil and cursed. Twice people on LinkedIn have tried to get me to join a pyramid scheme. Turns out there are all kinds of business owners in my area who are roped into some sketchy multi-level marketing contract eager to find more underlings 😂 LinkedIn posts are the absolute worst too. The fakeness and thinly veiled narcissism is so thicc that shit makes me nauseous after about 20 minutes. LinkedIn should be banned by the Geneva convention. It causes me as much harassment as being a controversial RU-vidr, I swear to God.

(Allthough most bot detectors are usually quite basic )

@lachee3055 Год назад

In Australia, if it is publically available it's fair game as long as it's not a detriment to the service and other users.

@tjdjultima Год назад

I’ve done similar tasks professionally. Rotate your IPs, purchased leases to residential IPs work well, and you can set request headers to better imitate a “real” browser instead of whatever webdriver you’re using. A lot of times you can isolate the data call without having to render a bunch of images and just fire that as it’s own request through postman or whatever and then only get the json for every listing. LinkedIn is pretty notoriously tough to do thoroughly though.

It's not illegal, but it can to lead to some extremely overwhelming situations for the site if left unregulated. Whether or not a website is ok with it, you should time your bots. Don't run your bots with uncapped speed. Some websites even require you to follow some guidelines like one page per sec. The benefit of a bot should be automated consistency not speed.

@kizhissery Год назад

No huge website allow scraping data , last thing to do is settimeout between each mouse movement but then scraping would take ages. If I would scrape I might directly fetch backend REST api , providing headers and dynamically updating cookie every 12hrs, also huge apps like fb uses gql, so may not feasible or learn gql endpoint which provide entire data.(only happen if you know all the queries for gql)

@thanhquachable 9 месяцев назад

i am just curious, if you directly fetch backend API, they have even more reasons to sue/charge you because the backend API is not publicly available for us to make calls to without their explicit consenst 😂? If we simply render the whole page , at least "this is what I and everyone sees publicly", i am just smart enough to extract data I need to quickly lol.

@blenderowl6495 Год назад

You know that breaking ToS, while bans you from the service, doesnt mean what you did was illegal. When you sign up to use a service, lets say for in this case first person online shooter, they usually ask you to click "I agree to the terms of service" in order to continue. This document dictates what you can and cannot do with the video game. Any form of cheating is against ToS, selling your personal account is against ToS, sharing your account with another player (pressumably to boost your rank) is against ToS. If you get caught breaking these rules the service has the right to ban you from that service, i repeat ban and not arrest.

Try to access without accepting TOS. If you manage to, then you'll be completely in the clear as there are no laws against bots or scraping. The only reason you could be charged for anything is if you break TOS, which can't happen if you never accept them.
