That's what I mean though. If this data comes from just scraping other sources that are freely and publicly available and applying some shitty data analysis on it, why should I be particularly concerned? The data itself is already out there for someone to find if they wanted to or even buy it from this company if they are too lazy to scrape themselves. However, the source of the data wasn't in the article.
