be advised that contentnation [dot] net includes a fediverse scraper; we recommend defederating immediately to protect your users' content and privacy

EDIT: Changed "is a scraper" to "includes a scraper" since the site itself claims to do much, much more

@neatchee just want to know how your figured this out? I reviewed their site and didn’t find anything too suspicious so just wondering what I missed.

@neatchee Can you provide any more details/evidence on this?

@rscottjones in addition to being unable to find any accounts associated with that domain other than the "bot" account, the following is listed on their own features page:

Fediverse Integration (Beta)
Every profile can be found in the Fediverse automatically and can be followed.

@rscottjones and on a not-evidence-based level, just visiting that site sets my security-professional spidey-senses on fire. My instincts tell me it is more than likely either a scam, or a complete fabrication meant to assuage suspicion
