  • That was a fun read with some interesting facts I never knew… But I think you put some weird spins into it.

    Like I don’t think Americans are commiting 3 felonies a day, and I’d really be curious about the explanation of that.

    And I dont think lying about your age is applicable to the CFAA without some wild lawyering to consider it impersonating someone else to gain unauthorized access to protected data.

    But maybe I suck at understanding legal writing

    https://www.justice.gov/jm/jm-9-48000-computer-fraud

    Thus, embellishing an online dating profile contrary to the terms of service of the dating website; creating fictional accounts on hiring, housing, or rental websites; or using a pseudonym on a social networking site that prohibits them, might all violate a user’s contract with the owner of the protected computer, but the Department will not take the position that a mere contractual violation caused the user’s previous authorization to be automatically withdrawn and that the user was from that point onward acting in violation of the CFAA

    I think this is a decent defense of CFAA not worrying about lying about age




  • Twice I’ve had to find people I know heatstroking out on trails in the mountains. I found them due to dropping pins and being able to follow the trails they’ve followed on Strava or Google Maps or whatever.

    They probably would have went up there without trails being on Google maps, but I probably would have been bushwhacking to find them if I couldn’t see the trail networks to know where they went.

    I vote against removing trail maps. Hurts the good just as much, or more, than it tries to mitigate the bad.
