EFF: “Law professor and historian Tim Wu has called the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) the worst law in technology. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has described the governments interpretation of it expansive, broad, and sweeping. And Orin Kerr, former federal prosecutor and law professor, has detailed how the government could use it to put “any Internet user they want [in jail].” So it’s pretty surprising to see that now, instead of reining in the CFAAs dangerous reach, the House Judiciary Committee is floating a proposal to dramatically expand it and is reportedly planning to rush it to the floor of Congress during its April cyber week…Techdirts Mike Masnick posted a new draft and analysis of the CFAA expansion bill on Monday.”
