A developer faced felony charges for sharing a meme, was convicted and sentenced to 7 months in prison—only to have an appeals court reverse the decision. The court ruled that no reasonable jury could have found guilt based on the evidence presented, overturning the original conviction. The case raises questions about where the line sits between online speech and criminal liability.

Seriously, just because of a meme, 7 months? This judge must have taken the wrong medication.

A meme pack gets 7 months? The judicial system needs medication.

Sharing a meme can get you jailed for 7 months? This judicial system is really outrageous.
