A Taiwanese blogger named Liu published a restaurant review in which she said the food was too salty and the restaurant was unsanitary.
But this is Taiwan. That whole freedom of speech thing Americans pretend we have? Yeah, they don't even pretend in Taiwan.
Liu was brought to court by the restaurant owner (who apparently treated this like a Zagat Guide review), and Liu was found to be defamatory in her remarks. That gets you 30 days jail time in Taiwan.
My guess is Liu will have a glowing review of prison food coming out this time next month. "The gruel? Stupendous! The three month old bread? Just enough mold to tickle your tongue."
