Re-read my sentence about prosecuting crimes being the job of civil authorities not some Twitter moderator. I would much rather somebody who did something like you mentioned feared being arrested instead of just banned from Twitter.



Also this is kind of how twitter requiring phone verification comes in handy. Joe Jerk Neighbour calls strangers as above to accost Neighbour Daughter. Strangers are arrested They say @jjerk put us up to it. Thanks to twitter the cops know exactly who @jjerk is in real life. No need for moderator memory hole, just arrest the guy.
