Stealth Crawlers Not a Threat

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) has spoken out against bills targeting stealth crawlers. These bills aim to restrict the use of stealth crawlers on the web. Stealth crawlers are automated programs that browse the internet without disclosing their identity. The EFF argues that these crawlers are not a threat to the open web. In fact, they can be useful for tasks such as archiving and research. Restricting stealth crawlers could have unintended consequences for the web. The EFF is concerned that such bills could harm the open web and its users. The organization is urging lawmakers to reconsider these bills.
