This is a pretty bad headline. I don't know that i would characterize this as revived.

The same 9th circuit who held last year that LinkedIn could not block hiQ from scraping public data, just got asked to reconsider the same case, except now there is additional precedent that SCOTUS says if you had permission to access the computer then it's not a violation of the CFAA (even if you are a shady corrupt cop).

Hard to see this turning out any other way than the 9th circuit reaffirming their decision (or even strengthening it) and then it's up to LinkedIn to try SCOTUS again
