I agree with this comment. In my opinion there should be stronger laws regarding the misuse of police power, but those can be implemented at the state level, the extension of the CFAA to that is dangerous. One key point is this document:
> The Government’s interpretation of the “exceeds authorized access” clause would attach criminal penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity. For instance, employers commonly state that computers and electronic devices can be used only for business purposes. On the Government’s reading, an employee who sends a personal e-mail or reads the news using a work computer has violated the CFAA. The Government speculates that other provisions might limit its prosecutorial power, but its charging practice and policy indicate otherwise.
