Supreme Court limits breadth of CFAA
dimanche 6 juin 2021 à 02:00The Supreme Court limited the breadth of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, ruling that accessing data for invalid purposes was not a violation.
This was the right decision. Justice Thomas was confused in his arguments. It should be prohibited to pull a fire alarm when there is no file — and it is prohibited, by another law, one which has nothing to do with using a digital system. The CFAA should not apply.
