I like the idea that upon seeing a massive and indiscriminate MITM attack all of the various law enforcement agencies with a remit that includes data would just solemnly bow their heads and not attempt to stop or investigate it because a corporation probably wants the attack to happen.

Maybe you're joking, but they certainly do. They'll happily use them against individuals too.

The US law about this is the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, it's clearly a joke. We're all in agreement it's not really used against large companies.

it's a joke, the name of the law is "Computer Fraud and Abuse Act"
