The state Supreme Court heard oral arguments Tuesday on the question of whether messages posted on a Myspace page could be considered communication with a specific group of people.

In Commonwealth v. Scott , lawyers sparred over whether defendant Khalil Scott’s Myspace postings, one in which he appeared to identify himself as a gang member, were enough to constitute a probation violation. In another post, Scott said “Free Quil and Joe” — two apparent gang members, according to the allocatur grant. He also posted rap lyrics to his page.
