In doing so, the Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with a former deputy sheriff in Hampton, Va., who said he was sacked for "liking" the Facebook page of a man running against his boss for city sheriff. “Liking” the campaign page, the court said, was the "Internet equivalent of displaying a political sign in one's front yard, which the Supreme Court has held is substantive speech."

So while I agree that no one should be judged based on clicking an icon of a thumb (especially to the moronic extents I qouted above), the whole black and white "do you either hate this or like this" simplicity is all bull**** anyway.

Someone hated the guy in the first place. Never add anyone from work unless you frequently hang out outside of work. Also change your privacy settings to Visible to Friends only

When will people learn how to use Farcebook properly? I'm sure Zuckerberg didn't count on so many to$$ers using his social networking utility. 😉

The people running the city of Hampton are worthless anyway.... I remember when this was in the news the first time.... Glad the proper ruling was given this time.
