s it a crime to post threatening language on social media? It can be, but the Supreme Court today defined the state of mind that must be present when a person posts a "true threat".

The case is called Counterman v. Colorado. Counterman sent hundreds of Facebook messages to a local singer. She never responded. In fact, she blocked him, and he just opened new accounts and kept sending her messages.

The messages started to get violent, including "Staying in cyber life is going to kill you," and "You're not being good for human relations. Die."

"It's a really interesting opinion," KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas said. "As I look at Colorado's stalking statute that was at issue in this case, it's really similar to Utah's."
