The point is that the data is easily accessible. If you wanted to get your hands on the data while simultaneously keeping them clean, contract with a Russian contracting company to give you a data dump. You don't need to know how they got it.

It is harder to prove to a "should have known" standard compared to say buying stolen speakers from the back of a truck for 20% of the list price.
- 4death4 3y agoThere’s an implicit assumption in your argument that you’re going to directly ask for a crime to be committed. Why are you assuming that? You’ll go to a contractor and say “we want Reddit data.” Anyone with even mild technical competence can figure out how to get it.
