    There is a solution but everyone rants about it to: DRM. The problem is it’s been used in a way that no one likes and thus says it’s evil and restricted. But in this case it could be used to limit who can do what with the data. Granted there are always ways around it like the analog loophole

      I don’t believe DRM is the solution here, since it’s the public posts that are being scraped. Those public posts are by default visible by everybody, so scrapers can’t be stopped with DRM, unless you want to make a platform that can only be accessed by trusted applications.
