> There was also a case of a kid who posted on Facebook (to friends only)

I was confused about the "to friend only" part, and it turns out he wasn't posting to friends only. He was posting to the general public, in threads that were tributes to soldiers that had died.

Note that his offence is normally so severe a custodial sentence of six weeks is the usual sentence, and he got much less than that.

> On your own evidence, you knew the posting would reach between 600 to 700 people. In reality it may well have been significantly more
