BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhuanet) -- A British man has been fined about 1,000 British pounds (1,477 U.S. dollars) for posting a message on his miniblog, news reports said on Wednesday.

Paul Chambers, who posted on his Twitter that he was trying to blow up the Robin Hood airport in the southwest of Doncaster, England.

Security servicemen at the airport saw his tweet and suspecting it as a serious threat to the airport for they informed the local police.

Doncaster magistrates fined him 385 British pounds (568.80 dollars), plus 600 pounds (886.40 dollars) costs.

It is a warning to those Twitter users which may take for granted that their messages cannot be seen as they do not have any followers, reported Financial Times. Messages on Twitter are visible to anyone unless comments are protected via privacy settings which would not make them public and only available to those who are accepted by invitation.

I dont think they take things like that very lightly whether it is a joke or not and posting things like that is plain stupid and you are looking to end up in court

I thought the whole point of twatter was to make public your random brainless thoughts every 5 seconds like a demented attention seeking moron. Didn't realise anybody would want to be using it AND be private.
