Nothing good comes out from playing videogames either, or archiving pictures of WWII guns, or ...
Collecting information (which is public by the way) is just yet another hobby, which can be used for good (training an ML algorithm), bad (annoying someone), or just be neutral (sitting in someone's archive). It does not mean that you use it to ruin someone's life.
Also, there is nothing wrong with stalking people, as long as you do not interact with them, let them know, or affect them in any way.
- jacquesm 7y agoStalking is a crime. Even if you do not interact with people. Building up files about private individuals without their consent is a crime.

- SamReidHughes 7y agoIt doesn't but this discussion is about an event in the United States, so an unqualified statement about what is a crime will be interpreted that way.
