United States, a case concerning a statute of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and violations of terms of service agreements. Georgia police officer Nathan Van Buren was offered money to look up information on a person in a police database. He was later convicted of federal computer fraud for improper use of the database. He appealed his conviction, arguing he had authority as an officer to use the database even though it was not for official police business. Under the CFAA, it is unlawful for any person to “intentionally access a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains … information from a protected computer.”
On June 3, 2021, the Supreme Court, in a 6-3 ruling, limited the scope of the CFAA.
