Legal caveats

Just because you can put some data on Kaggle does not necessarily mean that you should—excellent example would be the “People of Tinder dataset”: in 2017, a developer used the Tinder API to scrape the website for semi-private profiles and uploaded the data on Kaggle. After the issue became known, Kaggle ended up taking the dataset down. You can read the full story here:

In general, before you upload anything to Kaggle ask yourself two questions: is it legal (from a copyright standpoint—always check the licenses) and are there any risks associated with this dataset (privacy or otherwise).
