The Onion, a popular parody news website, filed an amicus brief to the Supreme Court arguing in favor of an Ohio man who was arrested for creating a parody Facebook page.
The case at issue, Anthony Novak v. City of Parma, Ohio, centers around an Ohio man who was arrested after running a parody Facebook page that made fun of his city's police department. Novak, the petitioner behind the case, was briefly jailed by police and faced criminal charges for the page, though he was acquitted of the charges in court. Michael Lee is a writer at Fox News.
