#23"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.

#24Oh boy, wait until Palantir makes a unified database of everyone, they won't even need to have a previous offense, they can make one based on all the collected information or even based on your behaviors. Great times ahead!

#26> 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.

Does this mean that everybody in pain should just suffer and let their education, career, and family be taken from them before their time?

The part that should really enrage you is the way people will selectively understand this based on whether they agree or disagree with the context.
If some electronics repair guy repairing vehicle ECUs in bulk who doesn't ask questions but has an inkling that they're gonna get used for emissions laws violations got rolled up on by the feds for refusing to go out of his way to help them out HN would find all sorts of ways to cheer and justify it.

#29This is unbelievable! How in the world! Why they do that ?! Because the police were frustrated????!
You clearly never seen police dashcam videos in the US. Besides the corruption and stops for "hunt missions", a lot of times it's simply because you shattered their ego, even with a simple laugh: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NqJdt9_1XSw
