- kube-system 1y agoScraping the public internet is also not a CFAA violation
- snickerdoodle12 1y agoCFAA bans accessing a protected computer without authorization. Hitting URLs denied by robots.txt has been argued to be just that.
- dragonwriter 1y ago> Hitting URLs denied by robots.txt has been argued to be just that. "Has been argued" -- sure, but never successfully; in fact, in HiQ v. LinkedIn, the 9th Circuit ruled (twice, both before and on remand again after and applying the Supreme Court ruling in Van Buren v. US) against a cease and desist on top of robots.txt to stop accessing data on a public website constituting "without authorization" under the CFAA.

- gruez 1y agoCFAA was mentioned specifically, which means only US jurisdiction is relevant here.
