@boojit @JenMsft It might have been. But typical for that region. When I was in high school my local town wanted to sue me because I was linking to their website from my personal website. This was Ohio. 😂

@JenMsft If "view source" is illegal, inspection definitely is! https://www.theregister.com/2022/02/15/missouri_html_hacking/
Journalist won't be prosecuted for pressing 'view source'

Despite all logic, state governor still insists hitting F12 in a web browser is 'hacking'

@jscholes @JenMsft your periodic reminder that the client (software) is not to be trusted. Forget the fact that someone might figure out the right thing to put into `curl`, the browser will let them rewrite your forms and submit!
I got my kid into a summer program because they only disabled sign-ups in the front-end code. I mean, I still paid the people, obviously…
