Aaron was not charged with scraping public servers, he was charged with unauthorized access. He “hacked” the server. Meta just scraped publicly accessible information.
Let’s be clear about this: Aaron absolutely had authorized access.
If you want to be clear, you should provide some sort of explanation and evidence.
