I'd appreciate your feedback so that I can further improve it.

Please, share with me any thoughts you have. My particular points of interest are:

• The format of the presentation: is it the type of quarto presentation you expected?
• Content: is it detailed enough or would you like more information? Anything missing or not relevant?
• Examples: shall I also include the examples of won and lost lawsuits and the reasons for their outcome to provide real-life examples?
• References: FYI I will still properly format the end references (APA style). Are the in-text references in the form of a number enough?

After I receive your feedback, I will finalise the presentation and make any necessary formatting changes. What is the final deadline?

Hi @MKT-Analytics - Here's my feedback.

You do not need to address it all at once, but you work on it whenever time permits.

1. Format: perfect.

I introduced a third level in the hierarchy to add more structure. I also added an agenda slide.

2. Content

• [X] I feel we have missed to mention the CFAA (see also tiu.nu/scraping for some relevant legal references). Can we add a slide or two?
• [X] Overall, I feel you could have used a little less text (it's very wordy - try to cut a bit in word length, without removing actual content)
• [X] Please try to add some more visuals throughout (e.g., for the ## header slides: copyright, privacy, terms of use.

3. Examples

• [X] A big YES for examples. Please add one or two examples in the motivation section for lawsuits that were won or lost (e.g., LinkedIn vs. HiQ)?
• [X] On top of this, please add examples throughout the presentation (e.g., when you talk about terms of use, we can have an extra slide w/ a screenshot of some service's terms of use, or a robots.txt, or something else). Make it vivid for students!

4. References

• [X] Right now, you're using footnotes. I would like you to develop the presentation to use actual citations, see https://quarto.org/docs/authoring/footnotes-and-citations.html for how to do that (i.e., we will need a bibtex file that goes along with this file).

@hannesdatta I confirm that I implemented all of your suggestions. Please, let me know if you have any other remarks. FYI I tried to reduce the amount of text, but in many cases, it's difficult to explain the topic in a few words.
