Is there a good blog or something that tracks these cases?

Prof. Eric Goldman's blog is probably the #1 site historically on scraping and the law. I've contributed to it a few times.

The name of my firm is McCarthy Garber Law. I write about scraping there when I have time (which I rarely do)!

I agree that Eric's blog is great for getting updates on what's going on, and I've been following it for years. But he is very one-sided in his opinions about decisions, particularly on controversial issues like section 230. I have to remind myself he's an academic (though at a law school) and I'm not just reading some defense firm's memos.
Eric is brilliant, and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of internet law. He's also an incredibly kind, generous, and open-minded person. That said, I will refrain from any commentary on Section 230, as I have zero expertise on that issue!
