- Nadia Amro Furthermore, the argument can be made that what we're looking at isn't "exactly" scraped data. What we are seeing is a slack channel that has access to a bot, that has access to a database. No one in that chat can be proven to have scraped. Just that they queried a db. Now, logic would dictate that the db is compiled using scraped data, but the members of that chat can technically say they had no idea how the info arrived, just that they had access. Plausible deniability. Is the reveal still embarrassing? Yes. But unfortunately, being an idiot isn't against ToS.
