Convicted for posting a meme!! Unbelievable.

What meme?

From what I've read he posted a somewhat realistic looking ad from Hillary saying that you didn't have to go to the polls to vote, you could just text your vote to a number. 

 
People are no longer required to think for themselves.

 
I think it was this. Hoping the FBI doesn't knock down my door tonight for posting this.

What’s the reach of this person? Not a fan of tampering with elections, even if it’s against Hitlery

To me: this wasn’t a meme.

 
Meme or not, if someone sees that and assumes that’s how you vote now, I don’t care what their vote would’ve been. It wasn’t good enough to be a real attempt to prevent someone from voting, which is what the charge was.

It's definitely a stupid test...

But so are Nigerian Princes.  Still don't like it.  Win on merit. :biggrin:

 
I think the maga hat on the avatar was my first clue it was a joke. Not too many Hillary supporters wear that hat.

I guess what baffles me is that I can’t understand how anyone would think it’s a legitimate attempt to keep people from voting. 
 

I agree with you on the win on merit outlook though.

 
Of course he is getting busted, it was against Hillary!

Had it been against Trump....crickets, nothing to see here!

:bag:

Memes in general are a form of satire.   What that influencer did was not a meme.  It was used to deceive voters (likely young voters) and in essence stop them from actually casting their votes.

That looked like satire to me. I just find it hard to believe that anyone could be stupid enough to see that and think that's how you vote now. Do you really think his intention was to stop them from voting? Or was he just being a smartass?

Was the guy know for being a jokester like many of the influencers?   I am just looking at what was posted and I could see younger people thinking it was a legit way to vote.

To be honest, I don’t know anything about him. As a smartass myself I’m just amazed that someone is facing a possible 10 year prison sentence from something that he posted online.

 
From what I read, Mackey had a history of posting satirical meme's on twitter.

Here is a story the Washington Examiner on this case. They shared a video post from Katrina Wong, a liberal activist, during the same period before the election. I see no difference in what she did compared to what Mackey did yet they haven't went after her?

The Wong twitter post is at the bottom of the story, so scroll down to see it.

Search "jail meme Britain".

People been doing time for social media stuff for a few years now.

 
well now they should have to prove that the actual people didn't vote.
