SCOTUS rules in favor of man convicted of posting threatening messages on Facebook
FROM CNN:
“The Supreme Court ruled Monday in favor of a Pennsylvania man who posted several violent messages on Facebook and was convicted under a federal threat statute – the first time the Court raised the implications of free speech on social media.
The Court said that it wasn’t enough to convict the man based solely on the idea that a reasonable person would regard his communications as a threat.
"Our holding makes clear that negligence is not sufficient to support a conviction,” wrote Chief Justice John Roberts.“
