Could “Liking” an Anti-Pipeline Facebook Post Soon Be Illegal?

Bold Alliance

22 hrs · 

"The Riot Boosting Act is different. It creates a fund specifically dedicated to going after individuals, groups, and organizations outside of the state that it believes are “riot boosting.”

Could someone leading 500 people in a chant at a pipeline protest where five people end up getting in an altercation with police be considered to have “encouraged” a riot?

Could someone sharing details of a protest—time, place, what to wear, etc.—on his or her Facebook page be seen as “advising” rioters?

Those are exactly the sorts of questions that South Dakota and TransCanada want pipeline opponents to be asking themselves. Their hope is that fear of legal repercussions, no matter how tenuous, will keep these people silent, at home, not watching as projects like Keystone XL further degrade our environment and threaten the health and heritage of entire communities."
