I am glad to see an increase in action taken against people making threats on social media and other sites. Recent events saw people making threats of violence, such as rape towards Stella Creasy and Caroline Criado-Perez over the campaign to get Jane Austen on the £10 note and Mary Beard being told that a bomb would be going off imminently whilst she was at home. Why some people seem to think this is acceptable I have no idea, and I welcome action brought against them. For far too long it has been easy for some to get away with these crimes without fear of reprisal. They would be arrested for making such comments in person or for writing on paper so there is no difference in typing them anywhere on the world wide web. It's unacceptable anywhere and hopefully more direct action will discourage others from such idiotic activity.
