Questa decisione è importante! in USA
Non solo dice che è legale fare scraping, ma anche che Linkedin non avrebbe dovuto impedire lo scraping! (dato che le pagine sono accessibili pubblicamente (come serve per farsi indicizzare))
In sostanza, bisognera’ decidere: o farsi indicizzare o proteggersi dallo scraping.

The US Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has decided that scraping data from a public website doesn’t violate the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).
In 2017, employment analytics firm HiQ filed a lawsuit against LinkedIn’s efforts to block it from scraping data from users’ profiles.
The court barred Linkedin from stopping HiQ scraping data after deciding the CFAA – which criminalises accessing a protected computer – doesn’t apply due to the information being public.
