Kinda depends, doesn't it? Depends if you're doing it just to harm Twitter or Musk or w/e, or if you believe that you're doing it for a moral reason, and if that reason is justified. I mean people always say piracy isn't ok, but I truly believe that some media can only acquired and experienced ethically through piracy. The law doesn't make things right or wrong, it just protects things in general.

US copyright law makes a distinction between civil and criminal consequences based on intent to financially benefit from the copyright infringement. Vandalizing Twitter on the other hand yields both civil and criminal consequences.
