Trying to do something about bots is okay. "attitude" is iffy but still kind of understandable, though already a step in worrying direction. But surely its implemented in transparent and fair way.. right? Actively lying to users so they cant use images that MIGHT have content coder doesnt like? What else are they lying about? What else WILL they lie about? And that it reduces your reputation while not even informing you about it?

It doesnt matter if your ideals are noble and intentions good, if you dont act with integrity you are no better than the ones who are making world shitty place.
