Felonious Political Advertising
Texas's Online Impersonation statute, Penal Code Section 33.07:
(a) A person commits an offense if the person, without obtaining the other person's consent and with the intent to harm... any person, uses the name or persona of another person to:(1) create a web page on a commercial social networking site or other Internet website; or...(c) An offense under Subsection (a) is a felony of the third degree.
("Harm" includes any disadvantage.)
So this (archived version) is a third-degree felony.
I'll be including it in my next brief challenging the statute.
