CyberConnect, a decentralized social graph protocol for Web3, has not been directly linked to specific data scraping abuse lawsuits based on available information. However, the broader context of data scraping litigation is relevant. Companies like LinkedIn and Meta have pursued legal action against entities like HiQ Labs and Bright Data under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), alleging unauthorized data extraction. Courts, including the Ninth Circuit, have ruled that scraping publicly accessible data does not violate the CFAA, creating a legal gray area. CyberConnect’s mission to restore user data ownership could face similar legal scrutiny if misused, though no explicit cases name it. Developers using CyberConnect’s protocol must ensure compliance with privacy laws to avoid potential lawsuits.
