Probably the same crime. You'll be barred from Internet use (and all shall rejoice).

Good effort, but I'm not sure your post makes sense. If I committed the same crime, wouldn't I get the same punishment? In this case, that's being banned from playing Pokemon Go, not from the Internet as a whole.

(Stupidly, IMO), many sex offenders in NY are indeed completely banned from using the Internet.
