people who hack stuff/commit cybercrime don't deserve internet access

seriously, they should just be plain excluded from purchasing a router or using internet

Good. Lizard Squad, lulzsec, and all other related hacking groups are the cancer of the internet.

It's always impressive to me when these people get arrested and they're under 18. Like, that's taking stuff to the next level. You see people defeat the most advanced security systems in the world and evade detection by thousands of real world professionals, then they finally slip up and you find out that everyone was duped by a 17 year old. It's one thing to be 17 and deface the side of your local supermarket with graffiti, but this is really some next-level stuff.
