Facts: After ending a tumultuous 2-year relationship, Lydia Snow sought and was granted a protective order against her ex-boyfriend, Jon Cannard. The order barred Cannard from any contact with Lydia for a 36-month period, and included directions specifically prohibiting "posting remarks or images to any electronic networks." Ms. Snow contacted law enforcement shortly after viewing Cannard's Facebook page which included numerous posts regarding his lost love, the loss of his best friend and soul mate, the fact that he would "wait for her", and the way "women are allowed to play" the justice system. Lydia notified police that he is in violation of the order and she fears for her safety. In his subsequent police interview, Cannard claimed that his right to free speech is being impeded, that no violation occurred because he didn't mention anyone by name, and that Lydia wouldn't have known about the posts if she hadn't been "stalking him" on Facebook.
