   Justice Amy Coney Barrett wrote for the majority that "the   
   government's interpretation of the statute would attach criminal   
   penalties to a breathtaking amount of commonplace computer activity."   
      
   Under the government's reading of the law, any employee who   
   used a work computer for personal tasks when the employer limited   
   computer use to business purposes would potentially violate the law,   
   Barrett said. The same would go for those who violated the terms of   
   service on a website or app.
