Does Linden Labs Intend to Regulate Bots at all?

Does Linden Labs intend to provide any sort of regulation on how Bots operate as the become more numerous?


By Bot I mean -
Automated / changed versions of the client allowing massivly repetitive functions compared to a human controlled resident.

Current examples -

The Searchbot of Electric Sheep Company
The numerous Landbots in daily use.

Will there be regulations as to what bot collected "public" user data is allowed to be displayed on 3rd party websites in either the near or long term?

Examples -

User Objects rezzed Inworld
User Location and Online status.
