I saw some tweets saying no one who signed the letter has ever been subject to censorship or silencing themselves in recent or living memory. Which ignores that Publisher's Weekly has reported that many independent and "feminist" bookstores in the US are now refusing to carry JKRowling's books, and that another one of the signatories is Salman Rushdie.

Kenan Malik had the best take on the Rushdie Affair. It won multiple awards iirc. It's a very good read.
