Obviously, the post the guy "liked" was awful.

However, "liking" a FB or other post in the US should be covered under "freedom of speech" and therefore certainly not a crime nor even probable cause allowing police to obtain a search warrant like in this story.

I would not be surprised to learn that this has already happened here in the US, will continue, and get much worse.
