Why is there so much emphasis on the credibility of the threat? Why not just blanket remove all explicit threats? Establishing credibility is impossibly hard.

- adiabatty 9y agoMost (≈99.99%?) death threats aren't at all serious.
- ouid 9y agoEvery death threat is serious. Not many result in death, but that's not how we define serious is it? More importantly, I can't come up with a reasonable argument that it's ever constructive to the conversation to be allowed to threaten someone.
- qb45 9y agoWhere I live "I'll kill you" is a common way to express dissatisfaction with someone's actions and while explicit, it's neither serious nor credible. I'm sure facebook is full of such posts.
