I agree with that, esp upstream, and those that collected and lost it. Too, @hueso makes the point: *The line is crossed not when the information is gathered but when it is published.* Which it really never is, not in the reporting we're talking about, it's used to make those *stories have support they otherwise wouldn't.* 🤷‍♂️

Your opinion on journalists who buy stolen data? 

They are supporting an illicit market that we are all victims of, but stories have support that they otherwise wouldn't. I struggle to get upset with the journalists. I always find myself looking upstream for blame.
