The first thing that comes to mind when I read these restrictions is: "Big Brother is watching you."

Here are some examples of the types of restrictions the Department of Justice and Parole Commission plan to place on parolees: You shall not possess or use a computer with access to any "on-line computer service" at any location (including employment) without prior written approval of the U.S. Parole Commission. This includes any Internet service provider, bulletin board system, or any other public or private computer network. Any approval by the Commission shall be subject to any conditions set by the Commission with respect to approvel. In addition, you shall not possess or use any data encryption technique or program. In addition, you shall (i) consent to your probation officer and/or probation service representative conducting periodic unannounced examinations of your computer(s) equipment which may include retrieval and copying of all memory from hardware/software to ensure compliance with this condition and/or removal of such equipment fot the purpose of conducting a more thorough inspection; and (ii) consent at the direction of your probation officer to having installed on your computer, at your expense, any hardware or software systems to monitor your computer use. You shall maintain a daily log of all addresses you access via any personal computer (or other computer used by you), other than for authorized employment, and make this log available to your probation officer.
