Are there any legislative pushes to create a legal framework for the web, or are all countries just letting the courts decide what goes? There are so many edge-cases, free-speech and moral implications that shouldn't be left for the courts to decide and overturn and a whim.
Scraping data is legal right now, an integral part of research and journalism, and therefor important… until it's used to create a facial-recognition system and every citizen and sold back to the government. Also, when scraped data is published, isn't that a clear copyright violation? If not, how would you feel about it, if it was your content?
Nobody wants to get tracked online, so I get the moral site of Invidious, but on the flip side, they also remove the ads, taking away YouTube's and the creators profits, while still making them incur the infrastructure costs.

At least in the US this is kinda what the courts do, and some of these are even intended aims: Courts are basically the intended recourse for most edge cases because it’s unlikely legislation will cover all of them.
