@p @Humpleupagus The difference is when it happened. It's simply not possible to exist without the Internet anymore.
Even when I had an Internet ban in 2013, it had exceptions you could fly a plane through. Anything for education or a job or getting a job, and I work in IT. Really, it was just them not wanting me to use Twitter or my blog to embarrass a dumbass "computer detective" who didn't know shit.
Also, that ruling was in regards to a statute that blanket banned people from using any site with a social media component. It wasn't a case-specific pretrial or probation restriction.
