How does his being one-legged have ANYthing to do with the story!?!? I swear, these “journalists” toss in anything and everything to fill whitespace and degrade people (not just RCs).
The misleading headline is also an issue. The court ruled he didn’t have to disclose he was on FB, so it is no more secret than anybody else’s.
and now they will try to pass a law making you required to turn over actual sites that you use… FML
I want to stay positive and say thank God some justices have a good head on their shoulders!
I also thought the one legged part was such a cheap shot… and irrelevant….
New York law requires sex offenders to register any “internet identifiers” that they use, but Justice Stan Pritzker wrote for the Third Judicial Department that “an internet identifier is not the social networking website or application itself.”
“Rather, it is how someone identifies himself or herself when accessing a social networking account, whether it be with an electronic mail address or some other name or title, such as a screen name or user name,” Pritzker added. “Defendant’s failure to disclose his use of Facebook is not a crime, rendering the indictment jurisdictionally defective.”
BRAVO!!!
Note this case for future reference!
Electronic Security and Targeting of Online Predators Act.
What is this and is it law? I looked it up and it appears to have failed. Is this that new bill that was not retroactive now? They mention it in the article.
Nevermind, it is a New York law apparently.
It won’t make any difference because FB STILL BAN RSO FROM THEIR WEBSITE ILLEGALLY
Mark Zuckerberg is actually endorsing discrimination and violation of civil rights. He tells one group they can use his product but not this other.
As with any form of discrimination, it’s fueled by HATE. As our country has learned far too many times, hate has no place here.
A lawsuit would be a slam dunk.
It’s discrimination.
