I disagree for reasons other than putting a burden on parolees. To me, this is effort wasted on our legal system in drafting, passing, arguing against, and ultimately maintaining when its no longer relevant. Additionally it places a burden on Niantic, and any company that builds similar products, to cross reference their customer list with the list of NY sex offenders (and potentially other similar lists of states that follow suit). In my opinion, any potential payoff from this is so small that it's almost certainly something we could do without.

- mikeash 10y agoSex offenders in New York are required to give the government information about all of their accounts online, so it would be easy to reference against that list. I'm sure it's easy to refrain from doing so and not get caught, but it's something.
- pgodzin 10y agoDidn't realize that was part of it. But yea, creating a dummy gmail address and only use it for Pokemon Go seems extremely easy to do and not get caught.
