The number of real rape and death threats is miniscule. Of the millions of times someone has received a comment they considered a threat, how many times has something happened in the real world? Your odds of being killed by a meteorite are better. There's no reason to take that kind of stuff seriously unless there's specificity involved. There's a cottage industry of throwing rhetorical bombs and trolling 4chan in order to get threats. The people complaining the loudest about threats are reluctant to actually get the police involved, and they never stop trolling because they realize the threats aren't real. tldr: Internet threats are no reason to even consider curtailing free speech.
