What does is it have to do with ethics? CFAA law does not apply here and that is what matters.
- Spivak 9y agoI'm interested in this point. I was under the impression that the CFAA would apply here because they've explicitly stated what users are authorized and not authorized to do on their platform. Other than incur shame from the tech community they don't have to actually prevent the unauthorized access or use.
- dsacco 9y agoOstensibly "ethical considerations" are a precursor to a law being ratified, and will also be used when a law is not sufficiently specified as to obviate the decision. If a party is not denying their activity in court, but rather claiming that it doesn't match existing laws, this would come into play. But if you contest that or have an issue with the specific terminology I used, perhaps you'd prefer this terminology instead: "I don't think this is a good framework for interpreting the CFAA and establishing legal precedent."
