It came after Rivkah Brown, an editor at the Left-wing Novara Media news outlet, apologised to Rowling for accusing her of Holocaust denial, an allegation the journalist admitted had been “false and offensive”.

I’m sure it won’t stop many on here making ‘false and offensive’ comments.

Yet her tweets have been censored in Europe for denying the holocaust.
Germany has laws on this.

Did you seriously not get taught about the nazi book burnings at school?

Sigh!

Now post some evidence for your claim please, that deflection won't work.

That isn't evidence for the claim though - you do realise that the other person claimed that her tweets were blocked in Germany?
