But they didn't just get mad (if this is the full story). They sent them a death threat. I think there is a fine line.
I'll bite: Death threats are not as serious as tanking an entire company and ruining thousands of lives.
(I don't actually think that; I just feel like playing devil's advocate today)
Death threats are personal. Corporations can be boycotted.
A fair point. None of the news articles even give us any real, meaningful details as to what happened so we don't know if it was just execs who were threatened or if, perhaps, there was a bomb threat or something. I wish we could see a screenshot of the actual threat so we could make a determination.
And I don't.
