# The motivation

# Imagine someone walking on the street. That person is certainly in public space
# and can be viewed by anyone. Now change the situation by adding a camera that
# is filming this public space, and recording every moment to another publicly
# accessible space. We all understand there is a difference between the
# situation before and after the camera was added, right?  It is all the same
# for websites: everyone can view this website, but I will ask people to not put
# a 'camera' on it recording every moment to another publicly accessible space.

# Q: How about The Internet Archive?
# A: I consider archiving only necessary for actual public information. Think
# governments, news, court decisions, etc. Not personal websites.

# Q: Do you have you something to hide?
# A: Yes. People make errors. They should be able to fix them. They should not
# get haunted by their wrong-doings for the rest of their life.

# Q: How about Bitcoin and other blockchain projects?
# A: That's why I don't use them.

# Q: Then how do you use Git?
# A: git reset --soft HEAD~1; git push --force

# Q: Are you aware that bots can ignore a robots.txt file?
# A: Yes. Just as a DNT-header can get ignored, or a trespasser can ignore the
# "Do not pass"-sign. It is mainly to signal intent; no-one has an excuse now.
