Facebook poke violates protective order

By Robert M. Kisselburgh, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Tennessee woman faces contempt for Facebook "poke"

A 36-year-old Tennessee woman was arrested and charged with violating a protective order that prohibited her from "telephoning, contacting or otherwise communicating with the petitioner." How did she violate the order? It seems she "poked" the other petitioner on Facebook. According to Facebook, if you "poke" someone, they will receive a poke alert on their home page. According to the article, her attorney says she was surprised that a "poke" violated the order. I guess she has a hard time understanding what "contacting" means. It is rather apparent if you "poke" someone on Facebook, you are contacting them. Good luck at her contempt hearing.
