Looking at SerpApi clients, looks like most companies would agree they are fine with scraping Google. That is different from having your website content stolen and summarized by AI on Google search, which people don't want.
- bluGill 10mo agoThe claim is SerApi is not honoring robots.txt, and they are getting far more data from google/more often than needed for an index operation. Or at least that is the best I can make out of the claim in court from the article - I have not read the actual complaint. People are generally fine with indexing operations so long as you don't use too much bandwidth. Using AI to summarize content is still and open question - I wouldn't be surprised if this develops to some form of "you can index but not summarize", but only time will tell.
