>There have been separate rulings dealing with whether or not employees can use corporate equipment for personal reasons. Such rulings are about different laws. The government's interpretation would criminalize violating a protected computer's terms-of-service regardless of whether it is part of a corporate intranet or an ordinary website on the Internet. And yes, the government has pursued criminals charges for violating a website's ToS; see United States v. Drew, 259 F.R.D. 449 (C.D. Cal. 2009). >A more analogous example to the case at hand would be an employee at Google/Humana/Tinder selling your private details to a third party. This ruling means that such activity is perfectly legal, even if the terms of their employment state the opposite. As to Humana, it would likely be a criminal HIPAA violation.
