But the juvenile court may curtail such rights in an appropriate case *638 by a narrowly tailored condition of probation. This is an appropriate case.

A.A. appeals a dispositional order adjudging him a ward of the juvenile court ( Welf. & Inst. Code, § 602 ) and placing him on probation after the trial court sustained a petition for battery with serious bodily injury. ( Pen. Code, § 243, subd. (d).) Appellant contends that a probation condition prohibiting him from discussing his case on social media is overbroad and violates his First Amendment rights. We affirm.
