5. Consequences.

It seems we live in a time where death threats are the new norm for morons, incels, and Trump cultists...sorry, I repeated myself there, to terrorize everyone and anyone that dare besmirch TSF.

It also seems we live in a time where the police can isolate an individual with a laser pointer misusing that device long after they were using it. Such a primative device. The FBI can find out who was where and when based on cell pings and data. There are no fewer than two tech overlords (Alexa and Siri) that could probably tell you what's gone on in my home in the last 24 hours. And a security system tied into the web that could tell you what went on outside.

It would seem we should also be able to leverage some of this advanced technology to find those that make death threats such as these, make a fucking example of them.

You know, consequences.
