She faced threats over supporting human rights, and the majority of the article is about a copyright claim from a musician getting butt hurt. One of these things is far more important than the other and it ain't our asinine IP regulations.

She had received threats on social media after stating during a pre-Olympics press conference that the queer community was enduring a "hard time" amidst the political climate under President Donald Trump.

Also, way to prove her point ye social media tormentors. Surely there's no better way to show that LGBTQIA+ folk aren't having a hard time under Trump's regime than to accost someone that mentions it.
