Coverage is gathered by UnGovr's news tracker from publisher feeds, and a story is kept only when its subject is a development in AI or scraping law. Every story links to its publisher and the headline is theirs, each one resolved to the jurisdiction whose law it concerns and to LexLint's own note on the instrument where there is one. A story LexLint cannot attribute to a jurisdiction is left off this page rather than attributed to a guess. Coverage is not a finding: a story here is journalism, not a lint result.
