"Just" providing the data doesn't absolve you of responsibility for the decisions others make using it.

There is a point where data collection becomes unethical, and making everything fine as long as it isn't legal makes for a shitty society. (i.e. legislating behavior should be a last resort not a first judgement on right and wrong)

I don't know precisely where that point is, but automated scraping of social media probably is past (automated scraping of judicial records? probably ok)
