Wow, Twitter allows this content on their network?

  Obviously not. The account was deleted and banned shortly after the tweets were made. Note that that screenshot was taken about 3 minutes after the account was created. It's basically just Internet trolls registering Twitter accounts behind proxies and saying the edgiest things they can think of to stir the pot.

    "It's just trolls" is a mixture of monstering (it's them not us) and trivializing. This is misogynist male supremacist terrorism. Twittering threats of violent sexual assault is like phoning in bomb threats - even if you don't have any explosives, the communication itself is an attack.

      Don't call it terrorism. We don't give time to terrorists, ignoring them is the best solution; giving them more attention, yelling loudly for them to stop, and attacking them in retaliation are what terrorists want you to do.

    Perhaps Twitter needs a probationary period for new accounts from suspicious IP blocks, and some content moderation at that time. High profile accounts could opt in to this moderation for tweets that @them or DM them.or whatever.
