The person took it down after reading about Computer Fraud and Abuse Act lol.



https://github.com/Heroin-Bob/Kellogg-Time-Waster-3000 shows a 404 but

yea... why would they use their real name haha


> why would they use their real name

The obvious reading is that they legitimately saw no problem initially and then realized later that it was legally questionable and yanked it.


I rather suspect that anyone reading about this-- whether computer literate or not-- will suspect in the back of their minds that this thing is not legal.

Yup. And seems he took down his github photo too? Lol


hosting/providing code isn't illegal, right?

it's the invocation of it that would be, right?
