| May 18, 2023 at 21:27 | comment | added | Justin T | Let’s say for sake of argument that I mean relevant, timely data to my issue that is leaked by bad actors dumping it all on the internet, my main concern is the ethics of taking something useful that was shared illegally, but not tying it to specific individuals. Basically I want to know if that last step makes it more palatable ethically speaking. | |
