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

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not take the position that a mere contractual violation caused the user’s previous authorization to be automatically withdrawn and that the user was from that point onward acting in violation of the CFAA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

That's a long sentence

More common words.

Just like them Windows users.

Lemmy/Fediverse comment sections are pretty bad about making up personality traits/stereotyping people who do things they disagree with. This thread is wild.

Oh yeah, the sort here kind of sucks. Also just using the site, you lose your place/sort if you click into a link or the comments. Like, if I'm on page 2 of Top 6 Hours, click a link, and then click back into the scroll.. pretty sure I just see the first page of Active again until I either refresh or change pages.

That could definitely be improved as well.

I think that is an extremely unlikely scenario. Do you think modern technology is just going to disappear?
