Links to interesting / good / important tech policy papers are welcome.

Brevity is appreciated, although some context (hashtags, an abstract, etc.) is helpful.

"Tech Policy" is intended broadly -- topics like governance, standards, community-building, law, regulation, etc. are all in scope.

Brown, M. A., Gruen, A., Maldoff, G., Messing, S., Sanderson, Z., & Zimmer, M. (2024). Web Scraping for Research: Legal, Ethical, Institutional, and Scientific Considerations (arXiv:2410.23432). arXiv. https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2410.23432

As scraping for large-scale AI training becomes more common, scraping for other research purposes may become more challenging.
