What it requires
- Ordinary, unauthenticated automated access to an Oklahoma-connected public page does not by itself violate this statute unless it is done without authorization or in excess of authorization and involves gaining access, damaging, disrupting, or a similar listed act.
- Do not use a computer, computer system, or computer network to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person, or to put another person in fear of physical harm; either is a misdemeanor under this statute regardless of authorization.
- Authorized testing evaluating a computer system's own security is exempt from this statute.

What it makes you log
Logging duty
Section 1953 lists the unlawful acts (access without authorization, exceeding authorization, use of computer services, disruption, harassment) and sets their grading. It requires no log or record from anyone. Subsection D leaves a parent or guardian free to monitor a child's computer use, which is a permission and not a duty. The section has no territorial clause; the Act's separate provision treating a person who causes access from another jurisdiction as having accessed the computer in each jurisdiction (21 O.S. section 1957) turns on where the computer sits, is not cited by this row and gives no hook.

What this law does
Section 1953 makes it unlawful to willfully and without authorization gain or attempt to gain access to a computer, computer system, or computer network, to willfully exceed the limits of authorization, or to willfully and without authorization use or disrupt computer services, tracking a without-authorization or exceeding-authorization standard rather than California's broader without permission test.
A violation of the access, fraud, disruption, or harassment paragraphs is a Class C2 felony punishable under Section 1955; bare unauthorized access, unauthorized use of computer services, or using a computer to annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass another person is a misdemeanor. The statute expressly exempts a parent, guardian, or foster parent monitoring or denying a child's computer or internet access, and exempts authorized testing evaluating a computer system's own security.
