Data access Memes

When your "sophisticated hack" is just a Python script that downloads publicly available files... 🤦‍♂️ This tweet perfectly skewers the media's tendency to sensationalize basic web scraping as "hacking." The code shown is literally just making API requests to fetch JSON data and download image files from URLs that are intentionally public . It's like claiming you "hacked" a library because you checked out a book. Or saying you "breached security protocols" because you walked through an open door. The bar for what constitutes "hacking" has apparently dropped lower than my production server's uptime.
