What about something like Nitter? Archiving? Adversarial bridging between different platforms? Automation?

How will well-behaved scrapers undermine the sustainability of a business? I guess adblocking is one, but we can already do that with uBlock and that's legal. Or adversarial bridging, but that only serves to boost competition.

In other words, the question is flipped; why would well-behaved (i.e. non-DDoSing) scrapers be illegal?
