Thanks for an interesting research work. In the section VII. D, you write To foster research in this area, the tools and data sets used for this study are publicly available in a GitHub repository. Can you please release your crawler as well? Thanks

thanks for your interest in our research! We listed the tools in the paper - basically we used selenium and the Alexa Toplists that are not publicly available. We haven't published any working scripts (e.g. for extracting the policy links) as we are still working on a refined version that is easier to maintain :) If you are interested in details or unpolished scripts send me an email martin.degeling a ruhr-uni-bochum.de
