      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.

      Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

      Jean-Paul Sartre

        I apologize, but what does this have to do with the level of computer literacy of titler (elon) and his gang of young kids?

          No apology necessary, it seems you consider them a joke, I don’t.

          The circumstances draw parallels to Sartre’s time.

          Cheers, friend.

            I consider them a threat due to their computer illiteracy and zeal for getting into government departments. Maybe you didn’t understand what I was putting down here.

            Just in case you don’t understand what I meant, see their most recent leak of classified info or elons ignorance of SQL leading to claims of duplicate data in government databases.

            Maybe you are looking at the more complicated picture with Sartre and assuming stuff about folks instead of looking at the simpler picture that is right in front of you.
