15-Month Jail Term for Facebook Post Sparks Outrage and Debate
15 Months Jail Term For A Facebook Post. Right or Wrong?
According to this news report on Britain Newsroom, a middle-aged woman was sentenced for a post that was deemed controversial.
Can a random Facebook post take you to jail? Nothing shocking happens anymore as this is the story of a woman who has a 15-month jail term.
The Facebook post made by the woman was said to abuse Child Rights and was deemed criminal to the point of warranting a jail term.
However, what sparked some debates amongst Netizens was the fact that the post was talking about pedophiles.
Here is what an X user has to say about the incident.
“In today’s world, the concept of “sense” appears to have taken on a whole new definition. What once was clear now seems oddly subjective, as if common sense itself is being reinterpreted to fit the moment.”
Some other X users named this as an act of injustice. They further stated that there is a great need for freedom of speech to be encouraged.
“In the arena of truth, the voices of the meek are often silenced by the mighty, using every unscrupulous strategy to suppress reality.
Freedom of speech is long gone.
And we failed to protect the children.”
Is this true or are Netizens overreacting and being too emotional?
Some Netizens even believe that if indeed she is to be convicted for an offense, there is an avenue for her to be considered based on a “first-time” offense but that’s not the case.
This is what an X user tweeted
“What happened to “first time” offenses for people with no criminal past? Also, where are the lawyers/solicitors in these cases? Surely not every single person is pleading guilty? 🤔”
This is truly a disheartening story following the act that she is about to lose more than a year of her life due to a single post.
