On Friday, Google initiated a legal action in a federal court in California against SerpApi, a data - scraping company headquartered in Texas. Google alleges that SerpApi has been circumventing its data protection mechanisms by generating hundreds of millions of counterfeit search queries. Through this deceptive means, the company is accused of stealing copyrighted content. Moreover, after obtaining this content through free and improper acquisition, SerpApi is said to be reselling it on a large scale to third - party entities.
