I think "Scrapping" semantic meaning is slowly switching to "illegally collecting", and for those who mean that, your comment is perceived as pedantic (basically me when people talk about "crypto" and i am still responding "cryptocurrency you mean?")

Why would scraping have an unlawful connotation? I thought US courts have ruled scraping to be allowed.

"scraping" is being used in two ways

1. Scraping a website, by anyone, allowed by courts if it is publicly accessible

2. "Scraping" of data, by the government, from various sources into a centralized database in partnership with Palantir. It's a worse version of the "Patriot" Act

FYI, you wrote “scrapping”, but the word under discussion only has one P.
