Hi SM,
I read
https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2017/07/linkedin-its-illegal-to-scrape-our-website-without-permission.
I quote from the article:
"Lots of businesses are built on connecting data from a lot of
sources," Grimmelmann said. He argued that scraping is a key way
that companies bootstrap themselves into "having the scale to do
something interesting with that data." If scraping without consent
becomes illegal, startups like hiQ will have a harder time getting
off the ground.
What is your opinion on LinkedIn's stand against web scraping?
Regards,
Ish Sookun
