You did X abhorrent thing (fakes picture or video with deepfakes). It would be a shame if something happened to you.

That right there is indeed verbal violence, AND a call to arms to enact violence against you.

That's just libel and an incitement to violence (though you could have rephrased the same information so it wouldn't be).

Only the incitement to violence could possibly be considered violence, though I personally would say it is NOT violence, but a separate offence.

"I'll kill your family" after they killed many other people's families is verbal violence.

Believe me, my grangrandfather and my grandfather were jailed many times in the 20 years of fascist regime because they refused to swear as fascists.

They were two gentle men who worked as tailors.

That right there is not an example of violence, despite any assertions to the contrary. There is a clear distinction between statements and actions.

And this is where my opinion lies.
