> No, charging 100k to a teenager over a shitty joke over private encrypted communication channel is absolutely not reasonable. Where are you putting the stress in this sentence? If your issue is with the encrypted private channel being spied upon, then I completely agree, and so did the court system. But outside of that, if he had said this via SMS, this would be the standard response. It may be a shitty joke, but jokes don't make you magically immune to consequences. You can't yell "fire" in a clouded theater, and you can't say "on my way to blow up the plane (I'm a member of the Taliban)" while boarding a commercial airliner. Well, you can, you just should expect to be sued.
