I think that this case does have far-reaching implications as indicated in the other responses. In our zeal to protect minors from abuse I also can see where we are abusing the rights of the RSOs. Once they have served their sentence continuing that punishment indefinitely seems excessive. Set the conditions to monitor social media accounts, but don't completely deny access.
