Facebook User Arrested For a Poke

Posted by kdawson on from the criminalizing-the-annoying dept.

nk497 writes "A woman in Tennessee has been arrested for poking someone over Facebook. Sharon Jackson had been banned by courts from 'telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating' with the apparent poke recipient, but just couldn't hold back from clicking the 'poke' button. She now faces a sentence of up to a year in prison."

    I don't think you understand how many here understand mechanics way more than they understand sex.
