Reply #16: It does open interesting questions about what constitutes 'associating,' [View All]

[petronius]

which courts will need to continue to figure out. A face-to-face, a written letter, an e-mail, or a phone call would have been obvious, but accepting a friend request is a bit more nebulous (although I personally would still call it an association, I don't do Facebook so I'm not sure what weight FBers assign to such things). What if it had been a comment on Roselle's blog (if he has one)? Following a twitter feed from a prohibited person?

Using the unmonitored computer is a much more clear-cut violation however; Coronado should have known that strict adherence to parole terms is more important than keeping FB up to date...
