“A hearing today by the Senate Judiciary Committee reviewed expanding a law that could make lying on the internet a felony. In 1986 the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act was set into law to deter hacking. But throughout the decades, the legislation for the Computer Fraud Act has expanded to cover a wide range of issues, to make any act that "exceeds authorized access" to a computer, a violation. A violation is currently a misdemeanor, but the White House is looking to upgrade that penalty to a felony. What's worse, if you violate this Act, you're not just facing trouble from the feds but this law allows private parties to file civil suits as well.”
This story is from RT (previously known as Russia Today). It is just about the worst "news" network. Yes, worst than Fox News and that is saying something.
I am not sure why RT does so much lying in their programming.
Do not believe ANY thing that you see or hear on RT.
I suspect that the old Communist Radio Moscow staff must have just set up RT and all gone to work for them and they do not know how to tell the truth about anything.
