CFAA
A United States federal law, formally titled the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, that prohibits unauthorized access to computer systems. Its broad statutory language has been widely invoked by platforms to pursue legal action against third-party developers.
Core Facts
The U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) classifies unauthorized access to computer systems as illegal, and circumventing usage quotas may be categorized as such under legal interpretation.
The 2022 Supreme Court ruling in Van Buren v. United States narrowed the scope of applicability of the CFAA.

In 2017, LinkedIn filed a lawsuit against hiQ Labs, attempting to use the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) to prevent hiQ from scraping public profiles.

The U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and the EU Cyber Resilience Act leave room for potential accountability for platforms that knowingly provide tools usable for cyberattacks.
The CFAA is a broadly applicable U.S. anti-hacking law that platform operators have repeatedly invoked to sue third-party developers for unauthorized access to their systems
The legal path adopted by X typically involves initiating lawsuits or cease-and-desist letters on the grounds of violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) or Terms of Service
The limitation of the hiQ ruling is that it only constrains the U.S. Ninth Circuit jurisdiction; if a platform requires login, CFAA risks re-emerge, and platforms can still assert rights under copyright law or contract law.
In the United States, DDoS attacks can be prosecuted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), with potential penalties of more than 10 years in prison and substantial fines.
