Yesterday, a political commentator Paul Joseph Watson put out a tweet where he said under Facebook's

new rules, you are actually allowed to incite violence and send death threats to him personally.

Both of which are actual crimes. And here's the thing. It's true. You can. When I first heard

intent to commit high severity violence or calls for high severity violence unless the target is an
