Criminal Punishments Including Internet Bans

What’s happening? Some of the insurgents at the U.S. Capitol have been facing trials and pretrial conditions include prohibitions from accessing the internet.

Why is this important? It’s pretty new and novel for these types of crimes to prohibit access to the internet for the defendant. The courts are here to be truth police thereby addressing toxic disinformation.

How will this be important? IN 2017 the US Supreme Court struck a NC law that had an internet ban for convicted sex offenders. The Highest Court through out a protective order prohibiting internet access for a man.
