JK Rowling trolled Twitter after the social media site said an apparent death threat she'd received wasn't a breach of its rules. She called in police and alerted Twitter Support on Saturday after another user, claiming to be a "social and political activist" said she was "next".
The comment, from an account named Meer Asif Aziz, made the chilling remark after the Harry Potter writer sent well wishes to author Salman Rushdie, who was stabbed in New York. Aziz, who is based in the Pakistani city of Karachi, described Rushdie's alleged attacker, 24-year-old Hadi Matar, as a "revolutionary Shia fighter", then told Rowling: "Don't worry you are next".
But Rowling, who wrote the majority of the Harry Potter stories in Edinburgh, revealed Twitter claimed he had done nothing wrong in posting the Tweets.
