I’m curious to know if this tech requires spoofing an iPhone or otherwise falsely representing to Apple’s servers that the Android device is an iPhone. If so, I would be looking at the CFAA more than the DMCA.
- smashah 3y agoVan Buren protects it from CFAA. The only avenue that is untested is based on Terms of Service. I did a OSS WhatsApp reverse engineering project and got a C&D from 800 billion dollar Meta's lawyers all based on violation of their Terms of Service. As far as I'm aware, there's no precedent for interop against ToS.
