From what Richey said it looked like the guy’s account was locked and wouldn’t be unlocked until he removed it, which he now has. I know it’s nitpicky, but that means Twitter have looked at it (whether by human or automated process) and decided it’s not serious enough for a ban. It’s only lack of alternative that’s keeping me anywhere near it just now, and I’m watching Christopher Bouzy’s Spoutible thing with some interest. 

Ah I see. If that is the case then it’s absolutely fucking shocking.

I know right.

Posting such a hateful, offensive, vile, disgusting thing should see the poster permanently banned and receiving a wee visit from the police.

Locking the account until the poster removes the post is an absolute joke. I am absolutely disgusted by that. Fucking wankers.

You can imagine all the celebrities telling him that he looks great and then laughing their heads off.

I won't name the tweeter, but on the Nicola Sturgeon thread @Richey Edwards pointed to one guy openly fantasising about the rape and murder of Nicola Sturgeon. Richey, being a good guy, reported the tweet as did @DeeTillEhDeh and @Leith Green

Apparently though the tweet was fine. Twitter, under Musk, have no problem with this kind of thing. No safety rules broken, no problemo.

I was wondering if I should have reported it to the police. It is a malicious communication after all.

Not a violent person by any stretch but if someone spoke about anyone like that in my presence, I'd want to boot their teeth out.

Reported the tweet too, twitter initially saying it didnt breach its community guidelines, appealed the decision and it was upheld. Unfortunately twitters community guidelines largely align with US free speech laws where although that tweet is a crime in the UK twitter will generally edge on the side of the tweeter than the offended.

Regarding that tweet I don’t really understand how it couldn’t breach guidelines. Unless they don’t count it as a direct threat, which would be pretty obtuse.

I think if I was a public figure or even well known I wouldn’t use Twitter personally. There is clearly a deranged subset of people in society.

Helena Kennedy was saying today it's becoming more common to say you'd like to see someone raped and murdered rather than threatening to do it yourself, presumably because they think it will give them some protection against prosecution.

I replied but I had misread this.  Yeah that's what they do.

The telegraph getting so excited by their paymasters culture wars that they use the "woke", a meaningless word, in place of representative or inclusive.

Imagine how melted your brain has to be to think this is a bad thing. The first picture is the revised headline after they came to their senses.
