https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Buren_v._United_States (2020):

> [Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney] Barrett ruled that for the CFAA, a person violates the "exceeds authorized access" language when they access files or other information that is off-limits to them on a computer system that they otherwise have authorized access to. The majority opinion distinguished this from Van Buren's case, in that the information that he obtained was within the limits of what he could access with his authorization, but was done for improper reasons, and thus he could not be charged under CFAA for this crime.

This still does criminalize logging into your mom’s Netflix account, probably (?), but at least browsing HN on your work computer not covered anymore.
