Justin and guest David Solomon expose the disturbing reality of digital death threats when David woke up to find someone had posted "I'll find your ass and take you to the Lord with me" on his personal Facebook wall. They examine why these threats aren't being caught by platform algorithms that should protect users.
• Death threats via social media represent a growing category of e-crimes that warrant serious attention
• David received his threat after speaking out about protecting children in the writing industry
• The threat was posted publicly on his wall rather than sent privately, maximizing public humiliation
• Despite advanced technology in 2025, social platforms still lack effective prevention measures for threats
• Similar patterns of harassment were identified across multiple victims, suggesting coordinated behavior
• Big tech companies must improve their algorithms to filter death threats before they're published
• Law enforcement agencies need to take online threats as seriously as physical ones
• Recent legislation like the Take It Down Law demonstrates that effective legal remedies are possible
• Christians are called to "love thy neighbor" not threaten harm over disagreements
• Speaking out about these experiences helps protect others from becoming victims
If you're experiencing online harassment or threats, report it to both the platform and law enforcement. Your voice matters.
