IP theft isn't the same thing as privacy violation.

IP theft isn't the same thing as privacy violation.
- GloomyBoots 1y agoNot the same ethically. I’m not arguing that. But it’s the same mechanics. Browsing a dump floating around on the Internet isn’t the same as stealing someone’s personal info. The data is already there. You’re not depriving anyone else of it, and as long as you’re not hosting nor seeding it, you’re not sharing it, either. Most of us pretend not to see it, but it’s there regardless.
