#13"CFAA offense" You can catch one of these by logging into your moms netflix account.
If you steal your mom’s password without consent and she argues that you accessed information on the account that you were not authorized to see, maybe.
However the quote on its own is not necessarily true without further qualifications as mentioned above.

#15> Months later, the government arrested him. Their official reason? A minor, non-violent CFAA charge from an old workplace dispute that had nothing to do with Tor.
This is exactly the argument for privacy to people who say "I have nothing to hide". Authoritative governments will always find a reason to dig something up and the less privacy you have the easier it will be.
As a side note it sickening to see USA government doing this arrest straight out of gestapo/kgb playbook.

#183 years of pretrial detention for anything less than blowing up a building should be enough to enrage anyone. Even then, the legal system would be a failure.
How is 3 years pretrial not blatantly unconstitutional and thrown out immediately?
