Since this is publicly accessible, what would be the chance that search engines indexed the files? In this case, would Google bot be charged? Or if this were, say, Equifax or Facebook. I mean, in those situations, the companies were blamed for "the leak". It seems rather convenient to cherry pick the law to apply on this poor teenager.

I think I read that Google had, in fact, indexed all of these pages.

Yeah, what about that Cloudflare memory leak they had a while back? Are all the caches that retained the info complicit?
