Gleaning the web

LOL, I just reviewed the latest WP 6.3 tutorial video Embedding media and third-party content on your website and I’m left wondering why there are no warning of copyright infringement? In the old days, people used to display content from other websites in frames I think. They took that away and I seem to remember it was because you weren’t supposed to deep link content from another site, nor were you supposed to make it look like their content was yours. So, how come this is kosher?

In fact, Wes Theron goes on to mention that you don’t even need to use the Embed block, you can use a Embed Twitter block or you can just add the URL directly to your page or post. So, if the link actually displays the content, isn’t that misleading your audience to some extent?

I’ll just see how it works with some media embeds.
