Posting this write-up might be the last thing the researcher should have done--from a criminal liability perspective. First, the negative press might serve to piss off Facebook (who could have some perspective we are not privy to here). From Facebook&#x27;s angle, the criminal aspect here may be a much closer issue, and this write-up could serve as the tipping point. Second, as a party admission, this post is could very well be admissible against the researcher at trial. Without a doubt, it can be used to contradict any testimony he might provide in defense of his actions here. (So, you HAD read the ToS, correct?) Even without Facebook&#x27;s &quot;pressing charges&quot;, a US Attorney with political aspirations might just decide she has enough here to move forward against the researcher in an effort to appear &quot;tough on cybercrime&quot;. This whitehat stuff is murky territory for sure.
