Maybe the judge was out of line and maybe he wasn't. There have been many cases where judges have...for whatever there reasons...ordered people to not access the internet at all...let alone kill a site/account.
There is a saying among attorneys that the law is what the judge says the law is...so yes...a judge can take away what you may consider to be your constitutional right. That is the reason why they have multiple appeal courts...with the Federal Supreme Court being the ultimate appeal Court.
One can appeal a judge's decision/order (which is usually very expensive to do) but in the meantime one has to comply with the decision/order...unless one can obtain an injunction against the order while you appeal the decision/order.
