...IS a nazi or at least has views that align with them.
That is, in my opinion, much too vague to be libel. Rowling would lose in court, so this is just legal bullying from someone who has the money to throw their legal weight around.
I think this is funny, but as a fan of free speech, I have to disavow this censorious nonsense, no matter how unpleasant I find the target to be. Hunting down nobodies on Twitter who have opinions you don't like isn't cool.
Not if your free speech is gonna cost me money for something that isnt true. If you called me a name and accused me of something that will cost me money, id expect to be compensated.
In todays age, being called a nazi is almost.. almost like being falsely accused of rape. If you worked for a company, and some crazies called your company and said you are a nazi. Odds are you are gonna get fired.

What was untrue? It was phrased in a vague enough way where you can sneak around any direct actionable content, it seems. Most people have some views that "align" with Nazis. Maybe they like highways, or strong governments, maybe they're nationalists, maybe they're socialists.

Also, where is the harm anyway? This is a nobody on Twitter, good luck convincing a court there was any harm or monetary loss.

That's not what's happening here at all, though.
