Scrape != leak If someone scrapes my public info from LinkedIn and bundles it together for sale, that’s not a leak. There’s an entire industry that does this.

I consider leaks when data are breached and private data are revealed.
- okamiueru 6y agoAs long as what is scraped is what is publicly available, I'd agree. If it accesses data otherwise locked to "visible to contacts" or the likes, then I would no longer consider it scraping. (not saying this goes against what you said, but I'd like to add some nuance to the inequality)
