That's quite harsh. Good thing you're not in charge of making decisions.

When you get caught speeding on the road or being a nuisance otherwise you can and will get punished by the courts, including temporary restrictions on your driver license. When you money mule for others, even if you don't know that you actually fell victim to a scam, you get punished as well. When you litter in Singapore, you can get ordered to work community service.

I see no issue in handing out similar punishments in the digital space. The Internet is a shared medium, everyone who connects to it has a responsibility to not be a nuisance to others.
