> BREAKING: We filed a lawsuit challenging the South Carolina court system’s ban on automated data collection known as scraping. This ban violates the First Amendment.

> The ban has restricted the South Carolina NAACP from accessing public, online housing court records that enable it to assist tenants at risk of eviction. In the digital era, core First Amendment principles like the right to access public court filings must be protected.
