Scraping social media posts and reddit posts doesn’t sound like stealing, they’re public posts.

I doubt it’s only about some Reddit posts. The scrapping was done on the whole web, capturing everything it could. So besides stealing data and presenting it as its own, it seems to have collected some even more problematic data which wasn’t properly protected.

if it was unsecured it’s basically public. whomever put that data on a publicly accessible server is at fault
