Not to be dramatic, but it would be nice if this domain/"enterprise" were not allowed here based on the reporting from Vox[0].

Latka's argument is that he is clear in the podcast and many other places that is what he does.
It sounds like he is playing startup founders with their own game. Provide a service that the founder/company wants for free or little cost. Then turn around and sell their data to 3rd parties.
I would be willing to bet that is the business model of many of the companies that have appeared on the podcast and are mad at having their data packaged and sold.
And Latka's response is the same as all the founders of those types of companies.
"It's in the fine print, bro!"
It drives a stake in the heart of their hypocrisy.
They take your private info and sell it for marketing and he takes their marketing and sells their private info. The desire for HN'ers to silence this publication of private data speaks to the nature of the community being blind to their own wrongs.
I believe Michael Seibel had some choice words on Twitter last week about this guy.
If you want to see one of the interviews, the one from Workato is particularly memorable: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cg8q6RqpefM. The founder couldn't handle the pressure.
