Threats

[edit]

The text currently says, "On February 10, 2020, Dignidad Literaria confirmed from Flatiron Books that Jeanine had received no death threats.[21]," but the reference (21), which is not objective, says,"Flatiron had admitted the author herself had received ...[no death threats]. When asked for confirmation, Flatiron insisted on the accuracy of the statement they issued in January, which described “specific threats to booksellers and the author” that constituted “real peril to their safety”." The reference links its statement to a tweet by David Bowles ( one of the founders of #DignidadLiteraria) that says, " That's when we learned: no death threats for Jeanine. " Maybe part of the problem is conflating threats of violence and death threats.Kdammers (talk) 03:13, 17 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
