> The tweet included a threatening statement without a clear indication of either satire or comedy and said, "San Francisco Police are currently searching for notorious Islamic Extremist [name redacted]. If you see this individual at RDC please call 911 immediately." The post included a hyperlink to a video titled "SOMEONE BLOW UP ROBLOX NOW," which had been deleted from YouTube in 2015 but was temporarily re-uploaded, and that video (now once again offline) included direct threats to the Roblox Corporation.
I am very skeptical that this fine is deserved. The idea that Islamic extremists would target a Roblox conference in the CONUS is absurd. To me, the fact that this statement involves Roblox is an obvious indication of satire. But I can imagine that a whole bunch of very serious people gathered in a court room would never see the statement from that angle.
