Exactly. In France people have been convicted because they "liked" illegal opinions. As if the fact that such a thing as an illegal opinion exists was not enough of a problem, it's been decided by justice that the semantic of a "like" was "I make this opinion mine".

- sacado2 8y agoI found that, but this is in French, obviously: http://www.leparisien.fr/rozay-en-brie-77540/rozay-en-brie-condamne-pour-avoir-like-une-photo-de-daesh-22-08-2017-7206846.php http://www.leparisien.fr/rozay-en-brie-77540/rozay-en-brie-c... My own (approximate) translation of parts of the text: "Sur Facebook, le trentenaire avait apposé un «J’aime» sur une image d’un combattant de Daesh brandissant la tête décapitée d’une femme. Il a été condamné à trois mois de prison avec sursis." --> "On Facebook, the man in his thirties had clicked "like" on a picture of an ISIS fighter holding the head of a beheaded woman. He was given a 3-month suspended prison sentence". "«Quand on met J’aime, c’est que l’on considère que ce n’est pas choquant ou que l’on adhère», considère pour sa part Jean-Baptiste Bougerol, le substitut du procureur de la République." --> ""When you click "like" on something, you consider it's not shocking or you agree with it"", said the prosecutor".
