True enough. I wasn't comparing the severity of the reactions though. I was just pointing out that tweeting can land you in trouble. It is _not_ like sharing something naughty with a buddy over a pint. People just need to be more cautious of what they tweet or put on their face book wall. Irrespective of severity, the level of overreaction in both incidents is comparable (IMO). Deporting tourists because they tweeted something harmless in hipster-speak is a bit naff.
