The sources say Facebook scans its platform for threats and adds users to its own ‘BOLO’ watch list. The list reportedly contains hundreds of people and the company notifies its physical security team with their name, photo, and location.

Naturally, those who publically threaten the offices or employees make the list....

It’s worth noting that this feature first debuted for Skype Insiders in January, but it’s now seeing a wider release. The service uses the widely praised Signal protocol, which should ensure nobody other than the sender and receiver can view messages. The protection should extend to images, audio, and videos.
