Lifelong internet ban ruled illegal
Computers, bibles and phones for all

THE US COURT OF APPEALS in Philadelphia has over-ruled another court which demanded that a bloke be banned from touching a computer for the rest of his life.


Daniel Voelker briefly exposed the naked rear end of his 3-year-old daughter over a Webcam and was found to have computer files containing child pornography.

He was sentenced to five years and 11 months in prison and the Judge ruled that he was prohibited from accessing any computer equipment or any 'online' computer service at any location, including employment or education. He also has a lifetime ban from watching porn.

According to CNET, Voelker appealed, saying the conditions were too broad, as if taken literally he would not be allowed to own a Bible or a mobile phone. Life also might get a bit tough in a few years if everything is wired up to the Interweb.
The Appeals Court agreed.
