Post subject:  You can goto JAIL for posting on FACEBOOK or TWITTER
Did you guys know, that this isn't the first time this has happened? This article is from the U.K, but It's happened in America too. Because one posts the wrong thing on Facebook or Twitter -- people have actually gone to JAIL FOR IT! In this case -- it was because of a racist remark. Right or wrong, the notion that they can JAIL YOU, is CRAZY!

A student who admitted posting racially offensive comments on Twitter about footballer Fabrice Muamba has been jailed for 56 days.

Swansea University student Liam Stacey, 21, from Pontypridd, admitted inciting racial hatred over remarks about the Bolton Wanderers player, who collapsed during a FA Cup tie at Tottenham.

A district judge in Swansea called the comments "vile and abhorrent".

Muamba, 23, who suffered a cardiac arrest, is still in intensive care.

Sentencing Stacey at Swansea Magistrates' Court, District Judge John Charles told him: "In my view, there is no alternative to an immediate prison sentence.
I'm wanting to get everyone else s take on this, tyrannical governments around the world and how quickly things are becoming like A Brave New World or 1984.

What can we do to help stop all this?

It's a little rediculous to be jailed over it. But dude should keep his racism to himself and his clan meetings.

Would have to see exactly what he said first, but it's pretty shocking that a status update can send you to jail. Free speech exists as long as one doesn't venture into hate speech or inciting violence etc, and even if your FB security is high it's still a public forum so be careful

Racial yes. But freedom of speech is a VERY good argument where I live. Personally I find his post tasteless.... But just sayin..........

lol of course you can go to jail or be subjected to trail for something on the internet. The same laws that exist in our country exist on the internet, the main difference is that the internet is pretty much impossible to police.

I don't know why people think the internet floats in a lawless bubble!?

Actually England doesn't have freedom of speech (common misconception though these days), in fact as far as I'm aware America is the only country with that.

It really does not surprise me he got put in jail, and he isn't the only example of someone who has for something that has been put over the internet.

You could go up to a black policeman and call him what the guy who was jailed put on Twitter and you wouldn't be jailed. Probably fined at a maximum or given a warning.

But because the government and police are trying to stop crime online they used him as an example not to do it.
