Does it provide for an exclusion for those who are victims of a computer hack?

“Does it provide for an exclusion for those who are victims of a computer hack?”

Do you mean like what happened to Congressman Anthony Weiner?

I would hope there is a qualifier to the effect of “purposefully” in the language... this used to be understood in older criminal law but mens rea has fallen by the wayside in many criminal law applications today.

There needs to be clear proof of intent. malicious spy and adware has sent me to all kind of places on the net as punishment for trying to clean it out. Fortunately, never kiddy porn. But more than once, I’ve turned on my computer and received a nasty surprise.
I once searched for a file for a game, found it. next time I opened my browser, Candy was spread eagle on my screen. I got my file, but had to wipe my puter out and reload windows.

My brother did an innocent search for star trek, and then landed on a very sick site featuring star trek characters. Type chistian into your search engine and see what you get. These sick sites are very good at drawing you in. they don’t care about offending anyone.
Anything can happen on the net. Emotional laws are not a good way to legislate. That is what dems do.
