Our Director of Advocacy Seth Stern explains in Lawfare that Burke’s prosecution under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and federal wiretap laws “could create new precedent that opens the floodgates for the second Trump administration to prosecute any digital journalist who publishes news that authorities would rather keep secret by simply asserting that they ‘exceeded their authorization’ by finding what others failed to hide.”
