Whether or not it's public content and the privacy policy says it is, Oink botched it.

If they were going to release all the data they should have said so.

The archives not being generated until a user triggers the export indicates to me that it's just sloppy coding.

They didn't release anything new - all the data was already accessible from their website, and users were aware of that. They just made a zip out of it.
