Kennedy 0 #1 November 16, 2011 DOJ: Lying on Match.com needs to be a crime QuoteThe U.S. Department of Justice is defending computer hacking laws that make it a crime to use a fake name on Facebook or lie about your weight in an online dating profile at a site like Match.com. In a statement obtained by CNET that's scheduled to be delivered tomorrow, the Justice Department argues that it must be able to prosecute violations of Web sites' often-ignored, always-unintelligible "terms of service" policies. The law must allow "prosecutions based upon a violation of terms of service or similar contractual agreement with an employer or provider," Richard Downing, the Justice Department's deputy computer crime chief, will tell the U.S. Congress tomorrow. snipwitty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kennedy 0 #3 November 16, 2011 http://ilt.eff.org/index.php/Computer_Fraud_and_Abuse_Act_%28CFAA%29 It already is law. DOJ is just applying it in a way it was never intended, in a way the language does not support, and exceeding their authorized scope. But hey, it's the DOJ, so this is business as usual.witty subliminal message Guard your honor, let your reputation fall where it will, and outlast the bastards. 1* Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Please alert us when the DOJ decides to prosecute someone about being less than truthful about their weight on Match.com. The Government "running guns" to Mexico is almost as bad as providing weapons to Iran. What a surprise, looks like a mucho problemo for this Mexican gun runner. http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/09/13/fort-worth-mom-accused-of-gun-running-for-mexican-drug-cartel/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And how many children they want or already have. (not that the men are innocent here, either) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 3,111 #10 November 16, 2011 >If they're "hot" they're probably not lying about their weight! Oh, I think the women who are "hot" (more accurately the women who think they are hot) are more likely than most to lie about their weight! The more you care about being hot, the more likely you are to want to seem hot to people on line. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
