    Sure, if that's your only concern — and disregarding that it's a minority who would likely have the time, diligence and knowhow to actually confirm that you're right — but Meta's interest in directly leaked or scraped data is probably secondary to embrace-extend-extinguish alternatives to their services. Discourse doesn't exactly have that motive.
