Woman tags sister-in-law on Facebook, faces year in jail

Technically Incorrect: A woman who was under a restraining order reportedly tags her victim -- her sister-in-law -- on Facebook. A New York judge rules that even tagging is electronic communication.

Why did her sister in law not block her on FacebooK? Wouldn't hat have not let her tag her in it? This seems awfully dumb.

Well, the woman had been told to keep her distance and not contact her victim in any way. Instead, the woman goes on Facebook and posts a rant insulting the victim and her family again, AND tags her.

Yeah, the victim could have blocked her. That doesn't mean the woman who kept harassing her, to the point that a judge had already told her stop having kind of ANY contact with her victim, is somehow less guilty.

It seems pretty clear she knew what she was doing, she refused the orders of the court, and as a result, her cyber-harassment/bullying might now land her in jail. It's her own fault.

I guess you're right. I would just assume if it was that bad, the victim would have blocked her before any action from a judge was taken.

Maybe the sister in law didn't block her on purpose.
