jaypinho aripap But also, fkin forget about robots.txt, it's not relevant here. ... Publishers have a contract with these vendors that they now can't enforce because of ad tech economics. That's even more fked up than if IAS wasn't following robots.txt.Permalink On twitter.com

There's no other way to describe this than a shakedown.Permalink On twitter.com
