It's frightening to see users on a forum now support a bad law like the CFAA because it could be used against a company that they happen to like at the moment. A bad law is a bad law. It doesn't magically become a good law when it could be used against someone you don't like.

At worst this should result in tortious interference as a trespass to chattels case with damages calculated at the cost of the computing services that Lyft was denied.
