I asked because I did google it and I found nothing.
Aaron Swartz was not "imprisoned for years".
Weev "exposed a flaw in AT&T security in June 2010, which allowed the e-mail addresses of iPad users to be revealed.[39] The flaw was part of a publicly-accessible URL, which allowed the group to collect the e-mails without having to break into AT&T's system.[40] Contrary to what it first claimed,[41] the group revealed the security flaw to Gawker Media before AT&T had been notified,[40] and also exposed the data of 114,000 iPad users, including those of celebrities, the government and the military"
That's a pretty silly security breach, but it's still a real security breach. Not comparable to scraping twitter
