Yob ordered off Bebo
British Court Restricts Teen’s Net Use:
A British court has ordered an unnamed British youth to not post anti-social or abusive comments on the internet especially the popular social site Bebo.
Norwich Youth Court in eastern England issued an Anti-Social Behavior Order (Asbo) against a local 17-year-old implicated in petty criminal boasting on the online community Bebo.
Asbos are controversial control orders introduced by the Blair government in 1999 in an effort to clear Britain’s town centers of petty criminals, often called “hoodies” or “yobs.”
The Absos are usually used to keep yobs out of places like pubs and other public places from committing criminal activity but this is the first time an Abso has been applied to the web.
In one instance, he pasted an excerpt from a Norfolk Constabulary press release about his and his friends’ crimes with the heading “Oh yeah, we are notorious.” He also invited fellow Bebo users to “Leave a comment if you hate the c—- who harass you on a Friday or Saturday night.”
This would so never fly in the States.
