This is nonsense. If you are subjected to continuous, vitriolic, realistic rape threats on Twitter then this is inevitably going to stress you and make you feel somewhat unhappy or unsafe. But if you are a 14-year-old, or otherwise particularly vulnerable, then they may cause acute depression or suicide.
This Act isn't about antivaxxers or climate change deniers. It is about revenge porn and vicious cyberbullying, and I am not prepared to stand up for either.
- jbob2000 11y agoIf you receive that many threats on twitter, then leave twitter. It's not like you walk out of your residence every morning and every car passing by is yelling rape threats at you. It's not like you're getting on the bus and being yelled at. It's not like you're going to work and having your coworkers threaten you. Some assholes sent you digital messages on a website. That's it. Leave the website if it is such a problem.
