Do you know of anyone who's been in trouble with the law over memes?

   Or even just comments on social media?
   
   With the new hate speech laws coming in Scotland this is probably the only time I've really given it a second thought.
   
   But imagine getting a sentence from court for a debate you've had online 🤔 crazy.

   Ghost Black Hole
   I know a girl from the west coast of Canada and she was sending nudes to some guy she met online adn then one day the cops broke down her door and seized all her electronics for distribution of child pornography because she kinda looked youngish even though she was like 25
   
   Must have been some good pictures, she never got those devices back and I heard she's still single and doesn't go outside much anymore. Poor girl, she literally never did anything to anyone but the government and society just ruined her.
   
   Seen it happen a lot. I've known a lot of people that got into legal trouble over facebook, girls literally printing pages of shit to bring to the police station and make the cops read it for anything illegal to charge them, yikes.
