In a highly publicized case, the Kentucky Court of Appeals has upheld a restraining order that prohibits a man from posting about his ex-girlfriend online, citing past threats she made against him. The ruling, handed down by Judge Sara Walter Combs and joined by Judges Glenn Acree and, in a separate opinion, Judge Kelly Thompson, has sparked debate over free speech and domestic violence. The case, King v. Brown, revolves around a man who was ordered to stop posting about his ex-girlfriend on social media after she claimed he was harassing her. However, the man argued that the order was an overreach of the court's authority and an infringement on his right to free speech.
