Abstract: 

Beyond the legal challenges, legislatively mandated bans on social network participation raise certain practical questions. Given what we know about Internet-facilitated sexual offending, its perpetrators, and its victims, are such bans likely to produce substantive improvements to the public safety? On the technological front, can any such laws adapt quickly enough to respond to the emergence of new modes of communication and the rapidly changing digital landscape?
