A woman from the USA could be imprisoned because of a post published on Facebook in which he used the tag function to refer to a person and a post that he published in the social network.
More precisely, the woman in question had a prohibition, imposed by a restraining order, to come into contact with her husband's family, but applying a tag to a post by his sister could land her in prison for a year, according to an American publication.
An American judge ruled that the woman violated the restraining order by using Facebook's tagging function because she came into contact with her husband's sister or through the notification she received when that tag was applied, and the restraining order prohibits any kind of electronic communications between parties.
Although the woman's lawyer tried to convince the court that the Facebook social network was not clearly mentioned in the restriction order for the ban on communication, the judge stated that the document specified the ban on contacting the person even through the electronic medium, so he was violated.
When you're tagged on Facebook, you receive a notification. This is what led to Gonzalez being charged with second-degree criminal contempt. This can lead to a year in jail. Acting Westchester County Supreme Court Justice Susan Capeci reportedly disagreed. She said that the phrase in the protection order that read "by electronic or any other means" was sufficient to cover any Facebook communication.
Last week we told you about a repeat offender who was sentenced to 15 years in prison because of a picture published on the social network Facebook and now we have new proof that many things should not be published for everyone to see .
