Twitter is under fire today for not taking action towards tweets sent to EA Exec Peter Moore. The user, who we are not linking to, has publicly tweeted to Moore things like:
- "Hope your wife gets raped by Muslims. You've ruined FIFA your a disgrace."
- "Hope ur wife dies in a ditch a ditch u scum. Hurry up and die u old prick."
- "Hope your wife gets raped."
- "u scum I hate you and everything related to u ... I hope u ur wife kids family all die then there's nothing left of u."
Moore has stated that the user has been reported before, but after being banned created a new account to continue to harassment. Moore has also stated he has reported the user multiple times and has been frustrated with Twitter's lack of response.
Moore posted the reply he received from Twitter after he had reported the user:
Here you go. I get lots of these, but the threats to my wife and family spurred me to report this to Twitter: pic.twitter.com/OavtBo2lMS

Moore is among a large number of victims who have been affected by online threats. Online threats is a topic that has grown and has reached the level of the Supreme Court, and a decision could be made soon that will affect all of social media.
