In the US, it used to be that if you made credible threats against people you could/would be prosecuted. Social media made it so common in that no district attorney goes to the trouble of actually finding prosecuting people for doing this.

We can expect the same level of institutional breakdown with regards to various types of harassment, misappropriation, libel, and even manufactured revenge porn from AI.

Now the credible threats are being made by Trump fans, and those are protected from criminal prosecution by his long shadow.
