A federal judge in California reportedly dismissed a lawsuit for breach-of-contract and tort claims brought by Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter, against Bright Data, in a case involving data scraping.

X reportedly alleged that Bright Data was taking data from its platform and selling it, employing methods to evade X's anti-scraping technology, and violating its terms of service and copyright.

Data scraping is the process of extracting large volumes of data from publicly available web sources. The data is cleaned and prepared for processing and can serve several purposes such as training artificial intelligence models, targeting online advertisements, or conducting market research.
