- tastroder 6y agoThe hacker tool paragraph is pretty toothless. I just checked one of those legal tech apps and see 12 judgements total that even mention it. There was quite a bit going on when it passed that effectively clarified that working on, and with, tools like that is legal when there's an assumption of dual use for legitimate purposes, e.g. security research (which is like... all of them). LE use would likely benefit from the same assumption.
