In Germany, a man was fined for not securing his wi-fi. Now Chinese authorities have jailed a man for propagating an email falsely claiming that the sea off Shandong province was contaminated by radiation from the Fukushima One nuclear power plant. Apparently the bogus email went viral in Hangzhou, and there was some panic.
Great, criminalize stupidity. Sounds great, doesn't it? Right. We'd have to start by jailing the legislature that passed the law, and closely follow those with the judges who enforce it. Hmmm… That's actually not a bad idea.
