I would agree , but I think what happened with Cloudflare unfortunately makes the story significant. It’s as close as you get to an institution internet wise, and whether they realize it or not they have opened a door and will likely face regular pressure campaigns from certain internet types.

I would agree , but I think what happened with Cloudflare unfortunately makes the story significant. It’s as close as you get to an institution internet wise, and whether they realize it or not they have opened a door and will likely face regular pressure campaigns from certain internet types. It is essentially akin to a police department saying they won’t prevent crime as long as that crime is directed at a specific person or house. It’s not a good precedent, and I hope they create a concrete policy as a result of this, though I’m not holding my breath.
That's a good point and would be another good focus for a "real" story, which these two eps would just be background research for.
For me, given that KF seemed to provide a venue for illegal acts and content or their solicitation (just from what I've learned from the pod and I could be wrong!), I think it is entirely legitimate for it to just be gone from the Internet. It's too bad its useful info has to go too, but them's the breaks.
It is pointless to talk about Kiwi Farms as a portal for solicitation of crime if you have not spent time there. First. I am not sure that anything that happened on Kiwi Farms does not alap happen on Twitter. Second. Having spent time on Kiwi Farms, and wanting to bleach my brain after, the problem is that people were very very cruel on there.
The doxxing really was not ok but aside from that. What other criminal activity happened?
And is doxxing reason enough for a website to get shut down?
Second. Has anything occured on Kiwi Farms that has not on Twitter? If yes, then yeah, shut it down.
