> CFAA isn't going away

There's some pretty concerted efforts in play to at least have it updated and tempered, which could have legs. I don't hold much hope it'll go away but I do think some of these efforts to have it replaced could have legs.

> No. Just don’t.

Yeah, fair, I mean I'm all too aware of the consequences myself, but within this setting telling a bunch of people "thou shalt not" seems almost more harmful (IMO it's akin to saying "never roll your own crypto" which someone inevitably ends up taking as a challenge)

Until we fix the laws, I'd suggest just letting the world burn until voters and lawmakers get tired of half the country's personal data being stolen once a month and make a safer landscape for hackers to report vulnerabilities.

I do hope those efforts succeed. I think the parent meant to state "hasn't gone away," but even if they didn't, the point remains if you replace that.

I hate the CFAA, to be clear; it's just definitely still the law.
