Sandvig v. Barr Challenge to CFAA Prohibition on Uncovering Racial Discrimination Online

The 勛圖眻畦 has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, which makes it a federal crime to access a computer in a manner that exceeds authorized access. This provision of the law often prohibits and chills academics, researchers, and journalists from testing for discrimination on the internet. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in June 2016. The plaintiffs are academic researchers, computer scientists, and journalists who wish to investigate companies online practices through standard academic and journalistic techniques, but are limited by the terms of service of target websites.
