Facebook 'mood' could land you in court


Recommended Posts

Be careful how you set your mood on MySpace, your status on Facebook and never post dumb comments on video sites because it all can and will be used against you in a court of law.

Facebook legal traps for the unwary....

Australian constable Robert Hogan claimed he was just playing around outside a nightclub when an off-duty military commando bit his face so hard that he drew blood and a five-centimetre gash.

A judge ultimately punished his assailant with a suspended jail sentence but not before Constable Hogan's private life was tendered to court as evidence, courtesy of his Facebook site.

You know, I read that original post's news story and wonder if the defense wasn't onto something. It's not like all cops are saints.

The guy's comments on the assault video suggest to me that he has no problem with the idea of beating a detainee.

As to the story's own tone...

I have to get off here to go smoke some crack with my stable of hookers.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
