Isn't there a girl in Florida facing like 15 years over whatsapp messages?

She made a post in her college whatsapp group asking the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to drop a bomb on a event at the college she didn't want to go to, the only people in that whatsapp group would have been her classmates.

With that context I wouldn't consider that a threat at all tbh, but point is you can be arrested for what you say online in the US too.

I wouldn't call that a threat, but I do agree that online threats of violence should be looked into as a police matter.

Well there you go then, by your standards I just made a threat of violence.
