What social contract? When sites regularly have a
robots.txtthat says "only Google may crawl", and are effectively helping enforce a monolopy, that's not a social contract I'd ever agree to.I had a one-eared rabbit. He was a monolopy.
Sounds like a Pal name lol
Only if its model is a Lopunny missing an ear
I was thinking of a short lil bunny wearing a top hat and monocle with one ear sticking out of the center of the top hat but that works too
Is that actually true?
If so, why would they do that?
