My only question is: why?
Edit: maybe a second question: are you asking for a code review?

You know that "anti commercial AI license" shit does nothing, right? It's the equivalent of idiots posting that wall of text on Facebook a decade or so ago saying they don't give Facebook permission to use their pictures, posts...etc.
I mean if it makes you feel better and gives you a sense of control in an otherwise out-of-your-control environment then I suppose go for it, but you're not actually accomplishing anything other than making yourself feel slightly better and more deluded.
It has Soverign Citizen energy lmao

I think it's quite different. On facebook, you have accepted a ToS telling that facebook now owns that data. Also, that "movement" was against facebook, the platform itself.
Here you haven't accepted a ToS that wants to use your submissions for whatever they please (or did you?), and also, this movement is against outside parties, not the platform provider.
I don't think its been tested in court
Does it need to be logged in?
only scrape_instagram.py requires login. you need to change 8th line of scrape_instagram.py to log into instagram. however you don't need to log in to scrape Threads.
