In doing so, U.S. Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered Stone not to “post or communicate on Instagram Twitter or Facebook in any way or any subject.”

“It seems as if once again I am wrestling with behavior that has to do more with middle school than a court of law,” Jackson said Tuesday. “Whether the problem is that you can’t follow simple orders or you won’t, I need to help you out.”
