Yes, The DOJ Thinks It's A Crime When A 12 Year Old Reads The NY Times
law, the most recent action of Congress have expressed interest in expanding the law even more, increasing the sentencing of the Department of Justice decides to go after.
The EFF noted how ridiculous it is to claim that the violation of the terms of service is a potential crime, given how even children are read sites new online because potential offenders violate the terms of use. This is partly due to the

Although this is a bit vague advocacy of these sites (total ban), these are your terms of service. And because it violates the conditions violating the CFAA, as interpreted by the Department of Justice.

This means that 12-year-old visit NBCNews.com curious to learn about current events would, by default, distorting their age. Again, this could be criminal, as interpreted by the Department of Justice of the CFAA.

Fortunately, the Ninth Circuit rejected the government's arguments, concluding that, under this decision, millions of innocent citizens suddenly find themselves on the wrong side of the law. As Judge Alex Kozinski wrote so aptly: "According to the government's proposed interpretation of the CFAA ... described himself as "tall, dark and handsome," when you're really short and simple, win a beautiful orange jumpsuit.
