      ab: The article looks at the relationship between law and ethics, focusing on the ways in which the U.S. Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) has criminalized some of the valuable and ethically justifiable actions of computer science researchers and how this situation is reflected on a wider scale in other areas of the law. It cites data scanning and scraping carried out to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities as an example. It suggests that laws that criminalize ordinary or ethically reasonable behaviors have a disproportionate negative impact on marginalized groups within society.
