I gave up reporting on major sites where I saw abuse. Stuff that if you said that in public, also witnessed by others, you've be investigated. Twitter was also bad for responding to reports with "this doesnt break our rules" when a) it clearly did and b) probably a few laws.
I gave up after I was told that people DMing me photographs of people committing suicide was not harassment but me referencing Yo La Tengo's album "I Am Not Afraid Of You And I Will Beat Your Ass" was worthy of a 30 day ban
I remember one time somebody tweeted asking what the third track off Whole Lotta Red and I watched at least 50 people get perma'd before my eyes.
The third track is named Stop Breathing.
I TAKE MY SHIRT OFF AND ALL THE HOES STOP ~~BREATHIN'~~ accessing their Twitter accounts WHEH? 🧛♂️🦇🩸

On youtube I had a persistent one who only stopped threatening to track me down and kill me (for a road safety video) when I posted the address of a local police station and said "pop in, any time!"
Laws against threats to kill, rape and assault tend to be pretty constant across the world.. 🤷♂️
Americans online regularly tell me that that's protected free speech down there! Haha
That's true, but a lotnof things are illegal eeverywhere. Sexual Harassment or death treads will get you a lawsuit in probably every single country of the world.
Lawsuits are for civil cases. If someone breaks a law, they're charged by authorities at their discretion.
