It's the "provoking" part that's troublesome.

They explain it later. .
"The attacks are rooted in an intentional campaign of disinformation, where a few high-profile
users on social media share false and misleading information targeting individual physicians and
hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation of threats, harassment, and disruption of care across multiple
jurisdictions. Our organizations have called on technology companies to do more to prevent this practice
on digital platforms, and we now urge your office to take swift action to investigate and prosecute all
organizations, individuals, and entities responsible
Even if the groups were outright provoking threats, it's still a violation of their rights for the FBI to "investigate and prosecute" their speech. In this case, the groups they are talking about are twitter handles like "libs of tiktok" that literally just say "hey, look at what this hospital is advertising about what they do" - given the phrasing "resulting in rapid escalation of threats.."* means they are asking the DOJ to prosecute people for pointing something out that may have enticed someone to make a threat.
*btw, I think you agree that's not a crime anyway.
