I think a single angry “fuck you, go kill yourself” because someone killed you in COD would be treated differently to a consistent, targeted attack of “you’re worthless, nobody would miss you, go kill yourself”

The law isn’t black and white. There are nuances that would be considered when prosecuting a case.

Given this is a law for the UK I would expect it to be more sensibly applied than the typically heavy handed approach of US laws
