"Tennant, the wife of Doctor Who star David, urged Facebook and its boss Mark Zuckerberg to take action after an individual posted: "Whoever kills Georgia Tennant immediately will receive a reward from me." Responding on Instagram, she said: "Just been sent this by a friend. Out of curiosity, Facebook, what would constitute a breach of community standards?" She included a screenshot of a moderator's response, who judged that it did not need to breach the platform's rules so did not need to be removed."
"Some of Georgia's celeb pals have offered support. Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor wrote: "I'm so sorry, that's horrendous. Police matter, I'd say. Sending love." Trans rights campaigner Jake Graf expressed much the same sentiment. And actress Alice Evans said: "Georgia, take it to the police. They can force Meta to subpoena the details and IP address. This is outrageous. I understand because I get similar. This person needs outing to the world.""
Georgia Tennant, identified as a trans ally and spouse of actor David Tennant, was targeted with direct online death threats including an offer of a reward for her killing. A reported post threatening her remained on Facebook after a moderator judged it did not breach the platform's community standards. Additional posts from the same account repeated threats and obsessive claims about David Tennant. Several public figures urged Tennant to involve the police and offered support. Meta stated it uses technology and human reviewers to process reports, and its updated Hateful Conduct policy permits some allegations of mental illness based on gender or sexual orientation.
