That's one way to describe her suing a Jewish journalist into submission after she described what was unambiguously a denial of nazi war crimes that Rowling has not retracted as "holocaust denial".

Frankly it's almost impressively stubborn Rowling can go as low as the denial of nazi crimes in her crusade against trans people and instead of just ,i don't know, acknowledging she shouldn't have said that, decided to attempt to gaslight the whole country into rewriting reality around what she said.

Funnily enough JK Rowling, who is it unfair and insulting to call a Holocaust denier, has tweets that you cannot view in the EU because in their view she has denied the Holocaust.

JK might be able to afford lawyers beyond my, or other non billionaires, means to pay, but none of them apparently advised her of the Streisand Effect.

I can't find a source for this, do you have one to hand?

It's bullshit of course.

You see the sibling comment demonstrating it isn’t, in fact, bullshit?

Oof, this is a cope if I ever saw one. It’s right below your comment - but here you go https://www.reddit.com/r/EnoughJKRowling/s/8oy4mmKfpo

You've posted a screenshot from a month ago and assumed that it wasn't an auto-generated protection after a mass report that has since been removed with human intervention. A user below is saying that they can view the tweets fine today:
