Scraping Without Getting Sued (Or Falling Asleep)

Everyone (and we do mean EVERYONE) needs data, and the web is the largest database humanity has ever built. But tapping into it at scale requires more than technical skills. If your product touches web data, scraping isn't just a backend task, it can be risky and have real consequences. In this episode, Yuval sits down with Rony Shalit, Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer at Bright Data, to talk about what can go wrong when you treat data collection as “just an implementation detail”. From lawsuits with Meta and X to wild edge cases and vendor breakdowns, they dive into what it takes to collect data responsibly and stay out of trouble.
