By placing a statement upon the public internet, you both implicitly and explicitly consent to that content being consumed by anyone, and by any means. Such is the implicit covenant that access to the public internet imposes upon all participants.
Making the content queryable by a database engine is merely a technical optimisation of the efficiency with which that content may be consumed. The same outcome could have been accomplished by capturing a screenshot of every web page on the internet, or by copying and pasting the said content laboriously by an imaginary army of Mechanical Turks.
A private network may, of course, operate under an entirely different access model and social contract.
