Where could I, or any Internet user, trivially download these details on 533M Facebook users prior to this dump? If nothing else, it seems extremely noteworthy that someone was not only able to obtain the data through scraping or some attack, but has shared with the world.

> The video provides a good overview about the issues surrounding bias in ML, and I think it motivates a discussion that would be useful to have on HN, given the number of people who work on such systems that regularly visit this site.
