Taylor Lorenz goes on TV and cries about getting mean DMs on social media after she falsely accused others then claims she has PTSD. Rachel Levine has such powerful friends that even honestly stating Levine’s biological sex is enough to catch someone a Twitter ban. But when author JK Rowling gets death threats on social media, Twitter doesn’t see any reason to take action.
Rowling posted a few screenshots from a music video about which the singer hoped for her death. “I’m afraid I can’t give a shout out to everyone promising to murder me,” Rowlingwrote, “there are so many of you, and I’m a busy woman – but this one deserves a mention for the nineties rave vibe, @TrustFundOzu.”

The hateful comments and the account who made them were reported to Twitter by actor James Dreyfus and others, but Twitter said that the comments were not in violation of their safety policies. The tech giant responded to Dreyfus’ report saying the threat hadn’t “broken its safety policies.”
