    Thanks for the source although I think that’s quite specific. It seems mostly about her being ignorant and doubling down on her war against trans people rather than a blanket denial of the holocaust which the term “holocaust denier” conjures

    Your article frames it this way:

    While Rowling has not denied the Holocaust itself happened, she is accused of engaging in a form of Holocaust denial for questioning the persecution of trans people under the Nazi regime, a fact which has been well documented

    I’m not denying she’s a cunt but I think it’s important to be precise with these sorts of allegations.

    I don’t see anything about holocaust denial in your link. There’s a 2018 article discussing parallels between her work and the real holocaust but it doesn’t claim she’s a denier. I don’t really care for Rowling but I also don’t like misinformation. If there is some evidence can you please share it?




  • I think you’re jumping the gun a bit. They’re just saying that requiring a phone number added a barrier against spammers and they want to be sure this change doesn’t open the flood gates.

    From the article:

    "We gotta figure out some way to induce a cost for signing up without a phone number”, Kret said.

    It’s unclear whether this means that registration without a phone number will become a paid feature.

    However, “cost” does not necessarily mean a monetary fee; it could also refer to another barrier designed to prevent abuse.
