Ryanair, Southwest Airlines, Flixbus, Greyhound, various train line operators all have anti-bot anti-scraping policies and tech. Those motherfuckers just don’t want their prices to appear next to their competitors.

So new rule:

Anti-scraping mechanisms are automatically hereby declared anti-competitive. Offenses shall be finable to 4% of the company’s annual revenue (like the GDPR).
