18 Year Old GTA VI Hacker Ordered to Life in Hospital over Leaked Clips

This is medieval and shameful, and needs to be overturned with the help of human rights groups and media exposure.<p>Neither autism nor cyber crime of this type are a life sentence to anywhere.<p>Autism is not a condition that is treatable by mental institutions. Its like sentencing someone to a mental institution for being left-handed.<p>While I wouldn&#x27;t agree with this solution either, even lifetime home monitoring would be infintely more humane and rational. That is, depriving the guy of computer access. Why was that solution skipped in favor of an extremely brutal one?<p>If it was tried and failed, then that&#x27;s a failure of monitoring. The bridging logic and justice isn&#x27;t &quot;okay, mental institution&quot;.

I have never heard of anything like this before. Seems wild. Reminds me of the way Mitnick was treated, thinking he was some sort of nuclear threat with his hacking skills.

This is borderline insanity. They should instead offer him a job and give him a target.<p>He hacked rockstar with a tv..

Absurd how people are defending this because of his autism. If the same crimes were committed by a neurotypical y’all would be screaming for blood. Being autistic doesn’t resolve you from responsibility and he had multiple opportunities to stop and change his ways.

Is this a common thing in the UK?
