A Tennessee woman was arrested for "poking" another Facebook user.

 

 

And yet a Tennessee woman was arrested last month for "poking" another user on Facebook.

 

According to an affidavit filed with the Sumner County General Sessions Court on Sept. 25, Shannon D. Jackson of Hendersonville, Tenn., allegedly violated a legal order of protection that had been previously filed against her when she sent a virtual "poke" to another woman on Facebook.

I'm sure we're missing the point here. The woman was probably under a restraining order which includes any form of contact therefore a Facebook poke would obviously breach that restraining order. Makes sense to me.

 

The thing about news reporters to sensationalise news they'll over embellish in some reports and in this case miss out the vital info.
