Is this perhaps to prevent ChatGPT, Claude and Grok to use Google Search? It would make sense for Google to keep that ability for Gemini.

- snackbroken 9mo agoWhat's their angle here? Courts have been over the "Is scraping websites that don't want to be scraped OK?" question plenty of times. From > SerpApi deceptively takes content that Google licenses from others (like images that appear in Knowledge Panels, real-time data in Search features and much more), and then resells it for a fee. In doing so, it willfully disregards the rights and directives of websites and providers whose content appears in Search. it sounds like they are somehow suing on behalf of whoever they are licensing content from, but does that even give Google standing? I guess I'm asking if they actually are hoping to win or just going for a "the process is the punishment"+"we have more money and lawyers than you" approach.
