Your "likes"

Bl4ckGryph0n

On here it is ok. The challenge with Facebook and LinkedIn is that a like is a public share. That act alone is like (no pun intended) sharing the article and spreading the news.

To me it seemed obvious, but I guess to many people it is not.

I wonder what the law is on liking something by someone who is ignoring your anyway

Surely it's more a case of, "don't record/post a video of yourself chanting nazi support then be upset when you're charged with a hate crime"?

Nazi support? Mel Brooks had better watch out then.

How many issues with this, let us count the ways,

Owns a pug.
Teaches pug Hitler to raise paw and films it.
Someone gets offended over a Hitler saluting dog.
Someone makes a decision to arrest someone over a Hitler saluting dog.
Decides to prosecute for hate crime when the only crime is one against comedy.
Found guilty over the action of a dog.

Shouldn't the dog be prosecuted ?   ( note smilie as this denotes lame attempt at humour and in no way endorses prosecution of dogs)

Wasn't he found guilty over the act of chanting Nazi slogans and posting it online?  I agree that there's a very fine line between Satire/Hate but the court records also took into account that he left the video online to direct traffic to other content.  Interestingly, his defence was that the video was only supposed to be seen by his 7 Youtube followers (at the time), yet his Youtube page now as over 132,000 subscribers. Maybe his potential 2 month sentence will be worth a lot more to him financially!

If he's genuinely just a comedian that's trying to get likes/annoy his girlfriend, he must be gutted that Tommy Robinson happened to turn up outside the court to vocally support him?

Prosecute the dog? I did Nazi that coming. He'd be Fuhrerious.

I've not seen that. I thought he was just teaching his dog a stupid trick to wind up his girlfriend and he posted it online.

Why's John Cleese not been arrested?

                               
Probably. I'm not sure how you could prevent that. How would you stop it?

I'd set a bunch of actors on him in a McDonald's car park.

What was it Voltaire was supposed to have said?

Could have been worse. He could have called the dog, Mohammed.
