Well, the argument of the GP is that "extra work" is not the only form of harm that is possible. When comparing the harm of extra work and stress due to this email to the harm of have your privacy violated by large, publicly-scraped datasets that include your personal information. For example, once your twitter post is collected in a "posts of Twitter users about X political event" dataset, it's now impossible for you to ever delete that post, which could be harmful for you in the future. it's unclear whether one type of harm is categorically worse then the other.
- mint2 5y agopublic posts on the internet being aggregated is not out of the ordinary, if one group doesn’t do it, another may. Scraping private posts would be wrong or gaining access to posts under false pretenses. This would be wrong, although different than the email. The email forced work on people and made legal threats causing work and other effects that would not otherwise happen.
