I see these kinds of comments regularly and am curious: what is your thought process? What makes you think that it's not illegal? What makes you think that legality matters here?



Can you just state what you would like to?


I did


You made no statements.


They are saying it's likely illegal but it doesn't matter because the law does not apply to certain people. No consequences for illegal activity will ever touch Trump or Musk.


Well that is my opinion of the situation, but other people had already covered that well enough so I didn't feel the need to. I was curious about what thought process results in the assumption that what they're doing is legal, so I asked.


"I see these kinds of comments regularly and am curious"

This clearly states the person's feelings (curiosity) about some observations (seeing comments of a particular sort).


Correct, I asked a question, which is what I wanted to do :)


what makes me think it is illegal. I dont think there is a congressional law that X data must be hosted at a given URL.
