How much do they need to understand? Say "unauthorized access happened, this lab is responsible for it, here are the fines". The state didn't need to understand networking tech to threaten Aaron Schwartz so why do they need to understand here?

replyEh... you don't seem to understand the difference between some individual LEO can go after vs a multi billion dollar industry.
replyLaw enforcement gets really careful around big businesses because they know they'll get smacked for every tiny transgression they make. Meanwhile they'll screw with individuals with impunity.
Throw a bunch of them in jail for hacking and organized crime, and they'll self-regulate.
replyAt this point we'd need to stop frontier labs to give law enforcement a chance to even begin to understand what they're looking at
replySo what? Are you positing that tech companies should be above the law?
Non-trillion-dollar tech companies get cease-and-desist orders from the legal system every day. Just because you're a tech company doesn't mean you get a pass.
They're currently acting above the law because the law isn't keeping up, just because you're a tech company doesn't mean you get a pass... but wow there are a lot of passes being given right now
