gollark: > Would you have if you didn't run out of infodata?> no.
gollark: Well, you seem to *generally* not stop if asked, you said so.
gollark: I am at least not too against Nobody, say, finding that someone has some exposed informatiodataæ™ on the internet, and privately telling them so; I *am* against them apparently just saying "ahahahahahaha look at me I have found your information" and refusing to stop.
gollark: I mean, the arguments are pretty similar to the ones about vulnerabilities in network/computery stuff, but generally it's considered nice *there* to *stop doing stuff if the owner tells you to*.
gollark: Oh well!
