On May 30, I reported to Twitter a user who sent me an image of a man holding a gun with a caption that included "Worry about if people start deciding to kill reporters." In less than an hour, Support replied that it found no violation. "We have reviewed your report carefully."
They asked me to reply "if there’s additional context you think we need to know regarding this situation."
That same day, I wrote: "I am a journalist, and this user replied with a meme that includes a photo of a man with a gun and a quote referencing the killing of journalists."

Last weekend, about a month after reporting the account, I received a notification: "An update on your report."
"Thanks again for letting us know. Our investigation found this account violated the Twitter Rules."
