Because they're manipupating content, CFAA is a law that exists to mitigate unauthorized access and obstruction of computer systems...that's how,the same law any ordinary person would face.
- acdha 7y agoWhose systems do you think they’re accessing? They’re not hacking the web server to add that warning: instead, they’re waiting for it to send a reply to you and modifying it as it passes through their systems as permitted by the legal agreement you signed. This is like trying to say DoorDash should be tried for trespassing if they put a flier in your delivery. Again, this should be illegal but I think we need strong network neutrality laws to make that so. Wishful thinking won’t save us the trouble of passing them.
- badrabbit 7y agoMore like if doordash put extra salt or spice on my food, the restaurant owner's expectation of the food's quality and integrity were violated. With comcast,the expected privacy of the traffic by the server is violated, until delivered the content belongs to the sender. An intetmediary transports content but does not own it,has no right to manipupate it. Vandalizing other people's property is a crime everywhere,the question is does it apply to network packets in transit?
