- hedora 2y agoThis is the only carve out I could find for manufacturers of computers: > No action may be brought under this subsection for the negligent design or manufacture of computer hardware, computer software, or firmware. I guess Microsoft could argue their entire operating system business, app store, and update infrastructure are intentionally negligent, and so not covered. I’d think a reasonable court would say that it’s working as designed, and therefore not covered by the carve out. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1030
