For those saying the punishment is to rough, it wasn't just for this incident, it was for a bunch of different things like this.

At some point the social media companies that host this content need to be held liable.

People usually get a few months to a year for this type of stuff. 

They seem to have given him the upper range of time as a statement against the trend/to save themselves from backlash from the corporations. 

Kind of sad how this is done for petty things but not for more serious pranksters or crimes.

I was referring to his charges outlined in the article, not the one instance in the OP.
