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."

I have mod points...

How do I mod the judge a Troll?

"I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

Sheesh... Don't get so melodramatic. Thats just someone permanently deleting their FB account.

Little does the judge know, you can never truly delete your account from there.

Re:Taunting

[serviscope_minor]

is "My dumb bass got a DUI and I hit a carLOL" even considered taunting?

It taunts grammar nazis like me who don't consider lol to be a punctuation mark.

hmmm...

This is in response to your statement, not a declaration of my opinion on the death penalty. Slippery bugger, ain't I?

You are right, the death penalty is more expensive. But only becuase of the insane hurdles the anti-penalty crowd have put in place to ensure the rights of the accused are maintained. Good thing we have those insane hurdles, or the more blood-thirsty of us in society would whack off people for every offense. Like bad-mouthing the iPhone

You are incorrect that the death penalty is not a deterrent. Have you ever heard of someone that was put to death, coming back to life and committing another crime?

I will take death over an 8'x6' room.

Of course, I get it. America bad. Americans stupid. I'm smart! Much better than dumb American. My guess is that you're either a bigoted (from my perspective) foreigner, or a self-rightous American liberal. Either way, up yours.

"violent crimes in the USA are largely committed by certain few subcultures

Do you have the balls to outright name these "subcultures"? The police subculture [wikipedia.org] maybe? Or perhaps Rich people? [trutv.com]

Please clear this up, I fear you're making a thinly veiled racist statement about blacks and hispanics,..."

We all know he is talking about Canadians.

We all know he is talking about Canadians.

As a Canadian. I deeply resent this slur against my people, and plan to politely beat you with a hockey stick until you apologize.
