Isn't crawling and scraping content what Google and every other search engine has been doing since day one?
Yes. It’s almost silly that they had to say it. I bet lawyers were involved.
I'm guessing previously they indexed the data and didn't actually use it. Nowadays they're using it directly themselves. You could argue previously they were making money from Google ads but google was always ad free I believe. Results had sponsors for sure but that wasn't linked to your data
