Can a Court Order You To Delete a Facebook Account?

First time accepted submitter jaymz666 writes "Can a court really order you to delete a Facebook account? When Asher initially appeared in court after the July 20 accident, the judge told her to delete her Facebook account, Kittinger said. Asher did not take it seriously, and was charged with contempt of court when the judge learned her Facebook page was still active. Seems like a big overreach."

That's not actually true, although the legal system treats it as such. Constitutional means compatible with the US Constitution. Some things flatly aren't, even if the court says otherwise.

You don't decide that, the Supreme Court does. Who says the Supreme Court decides that? The Constitution.

The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court

So if you want to "overrule" the Supreme Court because the law is not compatible with the constitution, you too is in violation of constitution. Better hope two wrongs make a right...
