    The CFAA isn’t computer literate either. It was made in like 1985 and the language used references express permission for dialing into computers in pre-dialup days. Courts could interpret it as everyone needing a snail mailed letter from google before you type google dot com into a browser, if the judge wanted to be that big of an asshole. Its ancient, but it is still used to throw the book at anyone using a keyboard in a way the government doesn’t like.
