Hello everyone and welcome to Kaviot, the CyberWire's Law and Policy

Podcast.

I'm Dave Bittner, and joining me is my co-host Ben Yelland from the University

of Maryland Center for Health and Homeland Security.

Hello Ben.

Hi, Dave.

On this week's show, I've got the story of a landlord who may run a foul of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Ben wonders if big tech CEOs should be held liable for contact tracking apps,

and later in the show my conversation with Joseph Cox.

He's a senior staff writer at Motherboard and will be discussing his recent article,

How Big Companies Spy on your emails.

While this show covers legal topics and Ben is a lawyer, the views

express do not constitute legal advice. For official legal advice on any of the

topics we cover, please contact your attorney. We'll be right back after a

word from our sponsors.

And we are back then before we get into our stories this week of some quick follow-up

but last week we talked about the

notion that the Supreme Court may be taking on the C. F. A. The Computer Fraud and

Abuse Act and since that episode was published there's been some movement there.

There has.
