> “may violate” the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA)
Oh wow, just saw that. So Zillow is throwing everything at the wall including "she is hacking us".
Well one good thing is it looks like McMansion Hell's Patreon account will get bumped up with a few more zeroes at the end. And Zillow just gave her free advertising and in the process managed to embarrass themselves.
Doesn't anyone there do any kind of risk analysis? Even from their totally selfish corporate perspective, someone should have said "attacking a fairly popular blogger and accusing her of CFAA crimes and other crap is probably going to end up not benefiting us, and may hurt our reputation". It would seem like a no-brainer...
