GitHub published a postmortem for yesterday's outage already, and the cause surprised me: They blame scrapers, or rather ONE specific scraper, for taking down GitHub for 7 hours.

Can anyone comment about how common this (apparently legal) practice is?

I think there is a big business opportunity here. Make a site that let companies put their status update on local vps for $100.
Even the Cloudflare status page, hosted by Atlassian Statuspage, is suffering. Probably due to the traffic crush.
Will the app requirement be disclosed at purchase everywhere? IE: If I am buying on a third-party online travel agent, will the checkout process state that in order to board the flight at the cost quoted, that I will need to have a smartphone with the app installed?
I'm a bit shocked the EU allowed them away with this.
How can this possibly be legal? If it truly is, the EU needs to get on it immediately.
This delay in status page acknowledgement is a huge reason that my app, StatusGator, has blown up in popularity recently.
We are now regularly detecting outages long before providers acknowledge them which is hugely beneficial to IT teams.
For this Reddit outage, we alerted 13 minutes before the official status page.
Last weeks Azure outage, it was 42 minutes prior (!?!).
How much has the value of the gold coins changed since you started it?

I think you'll find most Brits are not sure about London being taken over by people from places like Pakistan, India and the middle east. I went to Ilford for the first time recently, which used to be white working class and was surprised to find that it now seems about 90% islamic. I'm not sure calling anyone having doubts as to whether it's a good thing or not racist is very productive.
For context I live in central London and quite like the diversity but I don't have a problem with people debating it and saying they'd prefer it different. In fact I think it's healthy to have an open debate.
Did you read this methodically written and sourced post?
It is most certainly NOT calling "anyone having doubts" a "racist".
It is calling one particular person's astonishingly racist post as exactly what it is.

This has been an issue for decades now, with countless polls to back it up.
