  • Eh I would rather have had a discussion, summary or explanation than read a 400 page book for a random interesting claim

    Here's the book if anyone's curious

    https://www.amazon.com/Three-Felonies-Day-Target-Innocent/dp/1594035229

    I couldn't find any Techdirt articles with substance in the claim, but I'm not going to listen to podcasts so maybe thats where any details of the claim are hidden

  • 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

    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not take the position that a mere contractual violation caused the user’s previous authorization to be automatically withdrawn and that the user was from that point onward acting in violation of the CFAA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

  • I actually agree with what you are saying, but I don't believe it's so black and white. I also believe the media realized the profits in outrage and terror so that's why we are constantly hammered with it.. which is likely a contributing factor in mental health issues of the country/world.

    Columbine was one of the biggest ones ever at the time and a media field day, but definitely not the only school shootings around that time.
