And dangerous. Sometimes people delete information for a reason.

Not to mention the EU privacy laws touching on the right to delete information posted online, even if a company's terms of service say you don't have that right. I just don't understand why they would bother restoring data that bots already have, since it's been free since it was posted, and will continue to be free until the end of the month. (And even then, it's still going to be possible to scrape the site for free).
