Judge: Facebook "Like" button doesn't count as "Free Speech"

the plaintiffs -- Bobby Bland, David Dixon, Robert McCoy, John Sandhofer and Debra Woodward -- said they were dismissed because before the election, they each "Liked" the Facebook campaign page of Roberts' opponent, Jim Adams... the court decided that whether or not Roberts knew his employees "Liked" the campaign page of his political opponent, their "Likes" still weren't considered free speech...

This does not surprise me, coming from Virginia, home of the Vaginal Probe law.. thats all I'll say, cause I really just felt a need to say "Vaginal Probe"...there I said it twice to make sure it's out of my system...Feel free to delete this post Matt, as this might just cross the line or something.  :o

Hey Buddhapi,

At first, I laughed my my ass off.
Then, I realized that you were serious, and learned something.
Wow.

Who am I to delete the "v" word when I am spouting off with other 4-letter words?  It isn't like you used the "c" word or the "p" word in place of the "v" word.   LOL.

I'm a non-lawyer but not legally ignorant either. Under the 1st Amendment, I have the right to post facts & opinions using rhetorical hyperbole, colloquialisms, metaphors, parody, snark, or epithets. Under Section 230 of CDA, I'm only responsible for posts I write, not what others write.

I sounded just like Don Brewer when I first opened my letter from Getty. Alas, I no longer have a head of hair that could compete with his, however.

And though I'm sorely tempted, I'm not going to join in the V Dialogues in this topic. That would be unseemly at my advanced age, and I'm sorry to say late afternoon testosterone rushes these days are few and far, far between!  :-[
