I think such legislation is bad because it doesn't account for differences in severity and whether someone is actually able to consent, and generates on paper felons and felonies for.victimless offenses.
I guess this is some 19th century legislation that never got axed?

If you are in the U.S.A., for written communications you are presumed to hold personal exclusive copyright to everything you wrote down, no matter what medium and no matter where you publicly posted your writing.

When you're getting "the vibe" that you might be arguing with "the legal department" (of a large company) - state the facts, and DO NOT flesh it out!
1st: STATE THE FAKTS - only the fakts
2nd: shut up! DO NOT "express" your "wishes"! Legally, wishes mean NOTHING! …they're "wishes"!
3rd: shut up! DO NOT engage! If anything, copy and paste your previous reply!
4th: now might be the time time to contact a/your lawyer! 😅
