Who is banned from using computers? You mean, in prison?
- Kroniker 9y agoIt can be a punishment for certain crimes- or as an extended punishment after jail. Things like stalking where a computer was a primary method, valid threats made on a computer, etc.
- kodt 9y agoSome convicted hackers have been banned from the internet, if ever caught using it they go back to prison. There have been cases of people being banned from using any personal computer.

From Wiki: >Samy Kamkar, the author of the worm, was raided by the United States Secret Service and Electronic Crimes Task Force in 2006 for releasing the worm.[4] He entered a plea agreement on January 31, 2007 to a felony charge.[5] The action resulted in Kamkar being sentenced to three years probation with only one computer and no use of internet,[6] 90 days community service, and $15,000-$20,000 USD in restitution, as directly reported by Samy Kamkar himself on "Greatest Moments in Hacking History" by Vice Media's video website, Motherboard.
