The overreaction to online death threats is so stupid. An anonymous 0 follower Twitter account allows organizations and people to instantly turn the PR situation around and become the victims and act like they are personally being hunted down by Mossad.

Death threats are the background noise of the internet, always have been. It's just part of the PR manual now.

I remember someone telling me they were going to hunt me down and kill me on StarCraft back in like 2001. Shit hasn't changed
