Simply being accessible doesn&amp;#x27;t cut it. I can look out my window and straight into my neighbour&amp;#x27;s bathroom. Is that public information? Same goes for information on the internet. Sure, my neighbour could put up curtains (and I really wish he would), much like people could restrict access to web pages, but I don&amp;#x27;t think a lack of protection should automagically imply public access. Much less public access for the profit of some multi-billion dollar corporation.</text></comment>
