In October, the company received a number of threatening messages and comments, and closed its offices for about five days, prosecutors said.
An Orange County man was arrested this week on suspicion of making anti-LGBTQ threats against Merriam-Webster Inc. and faces a federal charge in Massachusetts, authorities confirmed Friday.
Authorities identified Hanson as the person who submitted the messages and comments, prosecutors said. In the message, he states that the company’s headquarters should be “shot up and bombed,” according to prosecutors. Hanson said the company had “caved to the cultural Marxist” agenda by altering “the definition of ‘female’ as part of the Left’s efforts to corrupt and degrade the English language and deny reality.”
