still have the ability to disable the crawler via robots.txt flags

Never rely on robots.txt. Configure it, but do not rely on it. A bot will do what a bot can do. Their bots are trivial to spot so close the connection, bonus if done silently closing the socket and inhibiting first RST from web daemon and second RST from the OS.

just rename the company to Meta Law or Zuckerberg & Associates already

The name Suckerberg I mean Zuckerberg is so strange. That's just raw german:

Zucker = Sugar Berg = Mountain (or a big hill, but typically it refers to a mountain)

So, a "mountain of sugar" (lots of sugar).

Suckerberg kind of fits better, since "sucker" is not german (berg still is of course; I think scandinavian countries also have berg, though that could be burg, aka castle). Plus, Suckerberg describes the evil behaviour of Facebook better. The USA really has a problem with its billionaires.
