About this episode

Yoel Israel interviews Or Lenchner about the significance of public web data and the legal battle with Meta.

Data powers almost everything we do online. Booking a flight. Shopping online. Training AI models. Comparing prices. Even understanding global events. In this conversation, Yoel Israel sits down with Or Lenchner, CEO of Bright Data, to explore the massive infrastructure behind public web data and why access to information has become one of the most valuable assets in tech today.
