[Thought Experiment] Do we need online laws?
Are internet laws necessary? The laws are clearly not a primary barrier for serious criminals, but they do present a problem for less-damaging people and less-damaging behaviour.Internet laws caused Gary McKinnon a decade of serious anxiety when he was prosecuted for looking at someone else's information, but it seems that the law was irrelevant to anyone's safety - whether or not he was prosecuted the military who held the information clearly needed better security.It's also clear that those who have a greater ability to harm others through the internet (data theft, remote encryption, et c.) are also those who are the least easily targetable by internet laws (due to some combination of skill and location).Every time I see someone being targeted by some online attack, my first piece of advice is to change their behaviour, and my attempts to contact authorities on the matter have been met with understandable apathy. Internet security advice seems necessarily geared towards something like 'victim-blaming'.I'll add the personal gripe that I've started learning about security a few months ago, and it seems the early port-scan I performed for my education was illegal (nobody cares, but technically it's sometimes illegal). The first problem here is that non-obvious laws are inherently going to be a pain. The second problem is that while I have the funds to make a virtual network for practice (and I have), not everyone has the funds, and criminalizing kids who just want to learn about networking seems like it's not worth the safety such laws buy.So, I must wonder if internet laws are required at all.Disclaimer 1: I'm not suggesting theft or plotting murders should be legal when they're on the internet. I'm wondering what would happen if logging into a remote server were legal, while copying files from that server would still be illegal due to non internet-based laws.Disclaimer 2: This is not an argumentative thesis, it's a thought-experiment. I have no idea if this is feasible but would love to hear people's thoughts.

When I used the password recovery function, I received my old password.
Hello,I am worried because the trading platform I am using, provided me with my old password when I used the password recovery. I thought that the passwords were encrypted and they cannot be restored. Is the fact that they have provided me with my password a sign of weak security and lack of encryption?
