Psychochomp is correct, this is an appalling development.
Not least because it is not a large step from this to people being silenced for saying stuff that corporations/governments/people don't like and it's not a large step from *that* to proper thought crime stuff.

it isn't really though.
there isn't some conspiracy by "the man" or shadowy x-files type shite going on.

No, there isn't any conspiracy theory and I know this sounds a bit tin-foil-hatty
but people get used to the current situation. Something changes that people thinks a bit off but nobody says anything. People start getting used to it being the usual method of operating and something else then happens that's a little worse. Rights aren't lost via conspiracies and Illuminati plots, they're lost via apathy and the old death by a thousand cuts business.

Somebody getting imprisoned
for saying something on his personal status is a violation of his freedom of speech regardless of whether you think he's a prick to say it. He is supposed to have the right to say whatever he wants. Other people don't have the right to silence you until it violates their own rights, which do *not* include the right to sit in a little bubble of approval and to never be offended by anything, ever.
