Yes, he did, and in a lot of countries, that would be just fine.
As you say, "back to jail he goes."
But this isn't just any country.
We have a Constitution that prescribes presumed innocence and freedom of Speech and the press.
There is no reason for a man not convicted of a crime to be deprived of the Internet or cell phone usage.
Moreover, the judge admits that the reason for the pre-conviction restrictions is a belief he has and is now enforcing as official state truth.
“It’s now clear that he has not experienced a transformation and that he continues to seek out those conspiracy theories that led to his dangerous conduct on Jan. 6,”
We don't have official state truth in this country because it is antithetical to free speech, a free press and the right of the people to petition Congress for a redress of grievances.
We decide what is truth as individuals.
The danger isn't that crackpots will believe crazy conspiracy theories.
The danger is that the truth will be made a crazy conspiracy theory so that a lie can take its place.

Very well said.
The judge is abusing his authority. He's either ignorant or downright evil!

If this was a BLM protester, we would not even be having the argument, because you'd be loving that the protester got their's. I would say the same as I am saying now, when you get released before trial, you have an obligation to uphold your end of the release agreement. If you break it, whether you talk driving when your license is frozen due to DUI allegations or a protester asked not to contact or view organizations that radicalized them, you choose the consequences that go with it.

Right, so the presumption of innocence is contingent on the willingness to surrendering other rights, i.e., free speech, free press?
Driving is a privilege regulated by the state you live in.
Free speech is not a regulated privilege.
"Radicalized"?
WTF is radicalized?
