I don’t believe that ANY public figure has to accept with profanity or death threats on their social media accounts. As the left can’t put together a simple sentence without either, it would an easy fix.

"I don’t believe that ANY public figure has to accept with profanity or death threats on their social media accounts."

Death threats would probably fall within the scope of other laws, but the judge seems to leave the door wide open for spammers and bots to flood politicians and government officials with nuisance messages and obscenity.

In the run-up to the 2016 election, neo-Nazis - or people posing as neo-Nazis - flooded the National Review website with obscene and anti-Semitic messages. It got so bad that it was almost impossible to post legitimate comments, or engage in any kind of dialogue.

As a result, NR restricted the number of platforms that you could use to post comments, and eventually stopped accepting any comments at all.
