The state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision is barring all registered sex offenders under supervision from downloading, accessing, or playing such Internet gaming activities, under the directive. Full Article

NY governor orders ban on sex offenders playing Pokemon Go
Has technology changes, rules are quickly placed…
As Bugs Bunny would say “what a bunch of the maroons!”
“Klein (D-Bronx) called Cuomo’s action “a good first step,” adding that “there’s still more work to be done legislatively to protect children who use this technology and I will continue to monitor this situation.””
Yes, lots of work to be done!
I already cant live with my mom and dad because of residency restrictions…Now they’re telling me I can’t play video games…This is a lawsuit
Wouldn’t be safer to ban minors from using the internet? We do not let them smoke, drink, drive, buy guns… why on earth do we allow them online if it’s so dangerous?
How do we know that Cuomo himself is not a child molester? Has he ever proven that he never molested his own kids? He refused to reply to my requests that he take the sex offender polygraph, indicating he is clearly hiding something.
Notice, its Democrats doing this. Cuomo is the son of a great liberal Democrat, and he is doing this, apparently under his executive authority, not because of some law the legislature passed — just like when the Obama administration did the same to send out horrible notices to other countries about registr8ge of International Megan’s law.
Everyone expects this is all being pushed by the Republicans, but every time something is started up, the Democrats either are the ones pushing it or are unanimously (or nearly so) on board for it.
Our issue does not break down to Democrat or Republican., so people should not look at it that way. We need people who are truly principled about right and wrong, who actually believe in our Constitution, who value human beings. Those values can cross party lines.
I blog and comment on a very popular tech geek site and this article and topic was posted about the NY law and every single commenter of over 500+ thought the ban was ridiculous and absurd.
Cuomo is another LAME just like his father Mario Cuomo was long ago when I was born and raised in NY !
next he will be saying RSO’s cant have CABLE ! or even a TV ! STFU Cuomo….loser
New Yorkers!
Does anyone have an update on this?

The only people more disgusting than those who play PokeyMan Go are sex offenders who argue about politics.
No Americans consider us Americans, and yet we argue with each other like we matter and are to be counted as loyal citizens of a nation that hates us so much they plan to place red stamps in our passports.
Whether they are a Republican, Democrat or an American, they probably still consider sex offenders as Former Citizen Detainees, only fit for an island somewhere.
Yet here we are… bickering among ourselves over how our common enemy tries to manipulate our votes, votes they would deny wanting if it were made public. Go ahead and announce that Alliance for Constitutional Sex Offense Laws officially endorses Clinton or Trump or Johnson and see how fast they reject that endorsement.
Republicans and Democrats and yes, even Americans(Libertarians) are our enemies, not our friends. It does not matter who, a criminal married to a child rapist or a blowhard tyrant ascends the throne, they will be our enemy.
Nothing is more pathetic to see expert manipulators like our people get manipulated into division over a system and process in which we are not welcome.
Focus on the enemy and that enemy is not ourselves.
Yes Renny, you are correct. I’m under the Libertarian umbrella and it’s true. I can’t speak for all Libertarians but my close friends abandoned me. One of them , when he found out, wished for a drone strike. Coming from someone who professed following N.A.P. It was a little aggravating. I still won’t condemn ALL because of the acts of a few or the many… It’s the individual that should be assessed. I don’t wish to hinder anyone’s rights but it’s wiser to keep politics out of it. We stand united or fall apart.
Does anyone have an update on this please?
