    I skimmed the Reddit terms of service and I didn’t see anything about bots or damages to Reddit, but if Reddit does ban bots like this then can’t they sue an American company whose publicly announced business model involves breaching a contract? Astral isn’t some guy without any money or a foreign organization beyond the reach of American law…

    (Could Astral be criminally liable due to the extremely broad definition of hacking in US law?)
