A man was ordered to apologize on Facebook or Go to Jail:


In June 2011, Mark Byron, a photographer from Cincinnati, was found guilty of civil domestic violence against his wife and she was granted a temporary protection order. In November, Byron posted a note to his Facebook wall reading, ""If you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husband's life and take your son's father away from him completely -- all you need to do is say you're scared of your husband or domestic partner and they'll take him away!"

Byron had blocked his wife from viewing his Facebook page, however she still received word of the post and proceeded to file charges against her husband stating that his post was in violation of her protection order, which prohibited her [then] husband "from causing the plaintiff or the child of the parties to suffer physical and/or mental abuse, harassment, annoyance or bodily injury. On January 25th, Byron was given the option of going to jail for 60 days and paying a $500 fine, or pay back child support and post an apology to his Facebook page for 30 days..
