I despise meta and the fact they're not being punished for this.

He didn't just download stuff, he installed a server on their network to do it. A bit different.

His punishment was still beyond the pale.

He also had every legal right to download those articles

Its fair to note he was never sentenced.

He installed a server on facebook’s network?

Aaron broke open a cabinet and installed a server at a secure site on located on a campus. He was never sentenced, though.

On a university network.

I remember the story from years ago. This sounds about right. Other commenter made it sound like he installed the server on meta’s network (which would have still just been Facebook at the time.)
