Maybe you're joking, but they certainly do. They'll happily use them against individuals too.

But against a large company? I'll believe it when I see it.

The US law about this is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, it's clearly a joke. We're all in agreement it's not really used against large companies.

It's crazy how you guys can live in this country and yet somehow be so divorced from knowing how the world around you works.

And when you explain it you double down on conspiracy theories.

Being confident and wrong about how things work (for example implying that the police prosecute crimes) in the US is usually a good indicator that a person is American
