It is harm. However, it is a different level of harm.

Ultimately I think he's just a kid stuck in Wales who's lurked the internet too much, and putting him in prison potentially with Nazis is not going to deter him from his budding Nazi ideology. Instead, it would be better to direct him away from that and encourage him to develop his computer skills for good.
