google dropped the dmca claims but they are pivoting to push new licensing terms instead. since the court tossed the original search scraping complaints, they are now basically trying to force a deal for content usage. it feels like they are tightening the grip on
data accessibility for anyone using third-party tools like serpapi.
>google amended its complaint with new licensing requirementsit is getting harder to rely on automated scrapers without some legal headache attached.
the era of free and easy search data might be ending . do you think this will eventually impact how we use ahrefs or other competitors for keyword research?
no one knows but the landscape is definitely changing.
