Watch What You Tweet!

Arrested because of Twitter?? That's right, you better be careful what you say on Twitter! There are two cases now of men who made what they claim to be sarcastic jokes, but has been taken as threats.

What do you all think? I think it's a little ridiculous, but then again when are threats serious? You can't just send a threatening email to someone (or back in the old days write a threat letter) and not be charged ... is this different? Are we going to have to censor what we write on the web? I believe so...the world is progressing into a new digital age and up  until now the digital world was chaotic. Slowlly but surely the government (and advertisers) are figuring out how to manipulate it. The real question is, is THAT good or bad?
