#2Maybe the headline should be "Why were 2 men arrested and convicted for tweeting in the UK?"

Actually, it was for creating a Facebook event. Arguably even more private.

#6The same thing happened here in Bolivia.
Samuel Doria Medina, tweeted that President Evo Morales had sex with a minor (17 years old) and she was pregnant. The following day the mother of the minor (a political person of power in Evo's cabinet) files for jail time among other things.
This was about two months ago and to be honest, media died down on it, and I have no idea what happened to the process. Was she in fact pregnant? Was the president in fact involved sexually with a minor? Lots of questions, no answers.

My bad, worth a mention though.
This one's a little more outrageous :|

I wouldn't say it's the same thing - Doria Medina is a politician himself, and opposed to Evo Morales.
Apparently, he was forced to apologize, and he's been very vocal in other accusations too (for example accusing Evo of illicit enrichment).

Not tit-for-tat- same thing, but same ballpark. A tweet accusing someone in power of doing something wrong.
