Ironically, craping the web can result in termination of your account:
“we reasonably believe that your conduct causes harm or liability to a user, third party, or Google — for example, by hacking, phishing, harassing, spamming, misleading others, or scraping content that doesn’t belong to you”
- cookiengineer 5y ago> scraping content that doesn’t belong to you Oh the irony, Google. It doesn't belong to you either.
- jolmg 5y agoGiven that a search engine needs to scrape the whole web to exist, I can't understand how they can stand against a user scraping unrelated third-parties, like it's some sort of grand evil they need to stand up against. Talk about a pot calling the kettle black. I can't believe they put that in their terms.

- jevoten 5y ago> pot calling the kettle black Think of it more as Google defending its turf. They want to be the only ones with access to data in bulk, so that if you want to find something, you have to go through them.
- visarga 5y agoScraping is one, publishing scraped content for SEO is another.
- skinnymuch 5y agoGoogle is publishing the content on the SE. That is one level up!
