You should read the Harper letter carefully. Pinker and Rowling know they are secure, they were expressing concern for those who are not so protected. It is not about universities cancelling talks but those too threatened to schedule one or can't afford security.https://twitter.com/debunkdenialism/status/1283104252555132928 …

It seems difficult to square with the fact that Pinker spoke out against Francis Collins being hired as NIH director and Rowlings continued attacks against trans people. Their words seem disingenuous to me. If people cannot afford security for a talk, why can they not use Zoom?

That's because their attempts to "cancel" are righteous and justified, while similar attempts by people they don't like are offenses against free speech.
