A 15-year-old Canadian girl from Nova Scotia has pleaded guilty to a vicious, planned attack on a female, autistic student, and an attorney is seeking to ban her from social media as part of her sentencing.

Steve Drake, Novia Scotia Crown attorney, said that the girl should be barred from online venues including Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, lest she perpetrate cyber bullying, according to CBC News:

Social media is a reality. Facebook might be a staple in the social lives of young people but if it's used as a vehicle for the commission of crime, what I said to the court is that someone should take away the key.
