• Supreme Court takes a byte out of computer crime law [telecom]

    From Moderator@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jun 26 12:47:46 2021
    Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority that "the
    government's interpretation of the statute would attach criminal
    penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity."

    Under the government's reading of the law, any employee who
    used a work computer for personal tasks when the employer limited
    computer use to business purposes would potentially violate the law,
    Barrett said. The same would go for those who violated the terms of
    service on a website or app.
