yes this I agree with - any threat - is crossing the line - however giving trolls an outlet probably has saved lives?

You're overexaggerating.

We have laws against actual abuse in the real world. No reason why it can't exist on social media.

Nobody's saying anything about hurting people's feelings. We're talking abuse and harassment.
