Tesh Sidi, a member of Spain's Sumar party representing the Más Madrid group in Congress, has taken her grievances to the national police, reporting that she has been the target of death threats and expressions of hate from an alarming number of social media users. The threats surfaced after Sidi made an ironic remark regarding migrant regularization, triggering a barrage of aggressive responses. Some of the messages are particularly disturbing, featuring violent and gruesome threats that reflect a severe level of hostility towards her.

Sidi documented these messages and shared them on her Instagram account, highlighting the serious nature of the threats including statements such as, 'Te estamos buscando y vas a llegar en caja de pino al Sáhara' ('We are looking for you, and you'll arrive in a pine box to the Sahara') and 'te vamos a mandar a trocitos a Marruecos' ('we're going to send you in pieces to Morocco'). This situation underscores the dark side of social media, where anonymity can embolden individuals to express violent sentiments without consequences.

Moreover, Sidi criticized tech giant Meta, questioning the effectiveness of their algorithms and moderation systems in preventing such hate speech and threats on their platforms. Her case emphasizes the urgent need for improved mechanisms to filter and address online harassment, especially against public figures and marginalized communities. The implications of this incident could serve as a rallying point for broader discussions about online safety and the accountability of social media companies.
