@mattblaze@federate.social In high school, we watched Koyaanisqatsi. And I knew I’d have a fundamental disconnect with some aspect of the environmentalist movement because in, specifically, the scene where they show the undisturbed desert punctuated by high-voltage power lines, I couldn’t help but think “Oh, those are really cool to see in this backdrop! I wonder where they go? Who built them? Someone checks on them. I wonder who?”
@FRACTRANS OH! Oh, yes, that’s… That’s not great. That’s not great at all.
@FRACTRANS @gerikson I’m really confused about the underlying goal of (forgive me if I’ve missed a detail) providing a page for public access that contains PII / PHI but not letting a commercial entity crawl or index it.
Like… It seems like that scenario is set up to fail? If you provide a page for public access (unauthenticated / unauthorized), you don’t have very much control over who copies / consumes that data at all.
