Activist Receives Graphic Online Threats for Anti-Racism Stance
South African Activist Receives Graphic Online Threats for Anti-Racism Stance A South African activist, BiancaSays3, has reported receiving detailed rape and death threats online for her outspoken anti-racism views. In a recent video, Bianca describes the threats as originating from a group who feel under attack and promote narratives of 'white genocide'. "These people think they can't be tracked down," she says, recounting an incident where a commenter created a new account to avoid detection. Bianca emphasizes the importance of preserving such threats as evidence for law enforcement. She recounts advice from law enforcement to not delete these comments, stating, "You need to stop deleting those comments and you need to respond to them so there's a record of it." The ongoing nature of these threats and Bianca's determination to continue her activism despite the harassment highlights a critical issue of online safety and the fight against hate speech. Law enforcement agencies are advised to pay attention to this emerging trend of online harassment and to develop effective strategies to combat it.
