alt Hacker News> Hang on.. proof of concept exploit creation and distribution for zero days is “criminal activity” now?
Publicly publishing an exploit is so obviously First Amendment-protected activity that it’s almost tempting to want a test case.

I’d love to see Microsoft try it on. The defence witnesses in any such trial are going to show up holding all kinds of receipts that Microsoft would prefer didn’t see the light of day.
Straight to jail for you, citizen. Distribution of 0day for lulz has been criminal since 2022. You're free to try and get away with it under any and all amendments. IANAL!
