"We outsourced it to the 3rd world cuz it costs 20 bucks a week to hire a "certified" sysadmin there"

You want data of any Large corp in the US - fly to well known outsourcing destinations. Stand outside the gate of their "global delivery centers". Hand out cash. Get access to whatever you want.

But the main thing to understand here in 2025 is that getting access to/monetizing user data has become so normalized, that you could legally just go to McD Biz Dev (or which ever other large corp) and say - hey guys I have this algo that can add 2 bucks of revenue per user per quarter (throw in a - just look at Meta they extract 70 bucks out of their American users and atleast 12 bucks out of everyone else per quarter just using the personal data). To test my algo, I need access to your DB. Your competitor has already given me access to theirs for testing.

What is corporate robot going to do?

They will hand you the data.
