The two possible constraints that might make sense, I suppose, might be Spatial (on the grounds that the Internet is sort of like a place) or perhaps Product is a better fit?  However, is it possible to add a new constraint of “Delivery Channel” (or perhaps “Distribution Channel”)?

What if we added a new Constraint called "Medium" (ie a communications channel).

Then we can have:
  Prohibition.Action.Distribute
  Constraint.Name.Medium=Mobile

and
  Prohibition.Action.Distribute
  Constraint.Name.Medium=Online
  Constraint.Name.Product=Examiner
