Yeah, of course ;)
> In the tradition of US property law, I think you need to do the bare minimum of posting "NO TRESPASSING" signs at the border
I guess the law went for an allowlist instead of a denylist this time. Plus one point on their security audit!
> protected computer
As an aside, sometimes I wonder why people make threats like "you must not link to this site without permission". It's like saying "you must not look at my house as you walk by it". You can ask, but it's Not A Thing. I worry that the language could potentially confuse a court someday. (Or that it already did.)
