Musk’s X Corp sues Israel’s Bright Data for scraping data

For some who may be confused about this: Twitter (err... &quot;X&quot;) is alledging that the scraper company explicitly agreed to their ToS, and is pointing to the company&#x27;s twitter profile as proof. Since they registered the account in the first place, they had to affirmatively agree.<p>Ordinarily I would say scraping is legal, but only because there&#x27;s no agreement between the scraping party and the service being scraped that states the contrary. In this case, the scraper agreed not to do so with Twitter, then breached that agreement.

&gt; X Corp., formerly known as Twitter,<p>So this wasn&#x27;t a joke? Musk is really rebranding everything as &#x27;x&#x27;?

Good luck with that, Israel is a legal haven for seedy data exfiltration and backdoor SaaS companies.
