Years and years and years of structuration of data, semantic web, linked data and so on, to end up with... countless dumb bots scraping front-end data (they're scraping the website pages, says [@osm_tech](https://en.osm.town/@osm_tech )).
https://OpenStreetMap.org has been disrupted today. We're working to keep the site online while facing extreme load from anonymous scrapers spread across 100,000+ IP addresses. Please be patient while we mitigate and protect the service. #OpenStreetMap #DDoS #Scrapers #AI
