Intro is clearly talking about Facebook/Google and sticking it up to the man:
> "These companies surveil us, exploit and financialize our experiences" ... "they also leave their own traces online, [...that] can reveal or even intervene in power relations."
Coursework starts with:
> Introductions. Using the terminal... Intro to python...
You are not going to scrape anything significant from Google if you just learned python 3 month ago. I bet students will end up scraping some indie website which is run by an individual and cannot afford spending time on anti-scrape protections.
