What the fuck is "cyber abuse?"

    Whatever the fuck they want it to. It's like when legislators write wiggly laws that can apply to a huge range of sins and non-sins.

    Computer Fraud and Abuse Act

    Mainly the provision that gets people is the “unauthorized access” part — or in this case, exceeding authorized access.

    It can be a pretty silly provision, because in some cases that just means visiting a URL that the domain owner didn’t expect you to visit.

    Edit: Just to be clear to whoever downvoted me, I am not in favor of this law. I think it’s a bad idea and poorly written too.
