WATCH: J.K. Rowling Receives “Death Threat” Video on Twitter
3 min read
Twitter has been criticised when it fell flat to confirm an objection to an alleged death threat. That is against the author J.K. Rowling who is featured in a music video by a trans activist.
Trans campaigner Faye Trust Fund Ozu contained dreadful statements. And it was a part of a 90’s-themed video named J.K. Rowling diss track.
In that video, it can be seen that the singer is in the backdrop with vocals about killing TERFS.
Glad I finally have a video to share every time J.K. Rowling posts transphobic bullshit (today) pic.twitter.com/CKi6StMeAP

She posted some screenshots of the video and Twitter. She wrote that she was scared and she can’t shout out to everybody swearing to murder her. There are so many people and she’s a busy woman. But this one has it coming to a remark for the nineties praise vibe.
I'm afraid I can't give a shout out to everyone promising to murder me – there are so many of you, and I'm a busy woman – but this one deserves a mention for the nineties rave vibe, @TrustFundOzu

Actor James publicised the activist’s post but the social media outlet failed to confirm the objection to the alleged threat. And by this, it broke its safety policies.
She tweeted the answer and said, Surprise, Surprise! So, death threats = Good. Saying women are women= Bad. Congratulations Twitter Support. You’ve blown rock bottom. Want help.
Many Twitter users said to offer their consent to the writer viewing the music video’s sinister lyrics.
Surprise, Surprise!

Sandie Surely wrote, Sorry this is occurring. You exist so powerful for women, but all this must be carrying a loss on you. Thank you and be tough, but this should not go on to anyone. Stability to you.
Christina Jordan said, she had no idea how you managed with such mishandling but she wishes you remember millions of us are with you, and we thank you.
Twitter publishes editorial and should be regulated.

CJ Liberte tweeted said, The attack is off the scale. And never seen an act like this.
Some other people acknowledged James and wondered why such content was allowed on the platform.
One user said, “Why on earth is it favourable?” and another user wrote that Twitter publishes editorial regulations.
Ffs. Why on earth is this acceptable to Twitter?

Transgender freedoms have now fulfilled a divisive topic, with activists, lawmakers, and intellectuals complaining about everything. Even from pronouns to single-sex places to transgender women’s sports participation.
