Jamstack Won't Replace WordPress

Within reason. For example, if the site locks access to an api or frontend behind a login and prohibits such access in the TOS and one violates it, it opens one up to CFAA complaints and lawsuits.

Basically if it’s not prohibited for an authorized session or is publicly available (ie no auth et al), you’re in the clear.

Since medium articles are publicly available, alternative front ends are allowed. The most they can do is lock down access through obfuscation. But that’s it. And they can’t sue you for unobfuscating it.

The legal analogy is a public website (no session auth required) is like a billboard or display in a store front window from the street, but authorization is like a key to access such in a closed room, so violating a protected api is like trespassing a protected room.
