Twitter again operated under a new set of rules.
Rowling’s comments about transgenders had been criticised in the past. But a new response was provided by Rowling, which included a death threat.
The Daily Mail reported that activist Faye “Trust Fund Ozu” included the death threat as part of a “diss track” against Rowling. An animated backdrop contains the message “J.K. I hope you fit in a hearse.” The video was posted on Twitter.
Rowling shared screengrabs from the video via Twitter. “I’m afraid I can’t give a shout out to everyone promising to murder me – there are so many of you, and I’m a busy woman – but this one deserves a mention for the nineties rave vibe,” she tweeted.
Twitter’s Terms of Service specifically ban content that threatened violence. Twitter did not respond to the threat when it was first reported.
Actor James Dreyfus reported Ozu’s account for violating the platform’s rules, but Twitter saidThis message didn’t break any rules.
Dreyfus tweeted the response and said: “Surprise, Surprise! Death threats = Positive. Saying ’women are women’ = Bad. Thank you Twitter Support. You’ve hit rock bottom. Seek help.”
It is worth noting that Twitter permanently banned former President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6 riot for allegedly furthering the “incitement of violence.”
“After close review of recent Tweets from the @realDonaldTrump account and the context around them we have permanently suspended the account due to the risk of further incitement of violence,” said at the time. Twitter Safety added that “we made it clear on Wednesday that additional violations of the Twitter Rules would potentially result in this very course of action.”
