Insults on FaceBook and
Twitter Illegal!
Yikes! I guess it’s a
good thing that the laws against insulting others on FB or Twitter aren't in
place in the U.S. You and I and the NSA would understand if we looked at FB
once in a while since it is replete with insulting stuff. I don’t tweet either, but the
place to avoid sending insulting tweets and FB posts is Grenada. They have
recently approved a measure against such as a part of an electronic crimes
bill. Complaints about offensive online activity are filed with the police and
then a judge determines whether or not the message was offensive. Has anyone
verified the rumors that Paula Deen and Eric Snowden were recently sighted in
Grenada? Might be the only place they can go and be protected from the
onslaught of on line insult.
Also included in the
legislation package are penalties for other online activities such as
electronic stalking and identity theft. Distribution of child pornography is
included in the bill too with fines of up to $111,000 and a maximum prison
sentence of 20 years for that.
