"Twitter & Youtube have policies on doxxing and death threats."
One of the problems is that those policies are enforced arbitrarily, per political affiliation. That is the real problem with the action under discussion here. Since there is a centralized authority in PAL that can arbitrarily take action at their sole option, the political views of that party will be reflected in the actions taken. You may be in their good graces today. You may not. Who 'they' are, and what their politics are, can change at any moment.
That's a guarantee of arbitrary power. It may not be of existential import to us today, but that doesn't mean it's welcome news. PAL is free to exercise their power over their community as they see fit, and always will be. The real problem today is the lack of competing communities that folks can use instead.
"There shouldn't be any recourse for threats or violence. Is that what your saying?"
In the real world there are definitely posters that are able to threaten violence without recourse. They have enough power to control the media they post on. John Bolton is a good example of this.
Hopefully time will solve that problem by enabling enough communities so that all people are able to speak their minds freely. PAL is a step forward, but this action reveals that's but one step on a long journey.
