'An academic who received death and rape threats after posting a picture of
herself on X with her completed PhD has said she feels "quite unfazed by the
vitriol".
Dr Ally Louks' post has been viewed 100 million times since she first posted it
on 27 November, and has attracted more than 11,000 responses.
The University of Cambridge supervisor, whose thesis is in English Literature,
stressed the majority of comments have been "incredibly nice, kind and
generous", but after her post "was retweeted by a couple of very right wing
accounts" it began to attract negative attention.
X has been approached for comment, while Cambridgeshire Police confirmed an
investigation into a report of a hate incident has begun.'
