I thought this article was relavent to what Lori Andrews discusses in her book, "I Know Who You Are and I Saw What You Did." Very interesting question. Should hitting the like button on Facebook be protected as free speech under the 1st Amendment? Is the person expressing an opinion by doing so? This is another great example of how what was thought to be a seemingly simple, private act carried out on a social network has come back to hurt someone. Check it out.

Agreed! Isn't interesting that words, not action or movement, are the only form of "free speech?" It will be interesting to see where it goes.
