Okay.
Let's say we wake up tomorrow and A&H features an article from CNN titled "KIWI FARMS: THE EVIL DOXING FORUM WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO DRIVE TRANSWOMEN TO SUICIDE." Let's say it gets a negative expose from every leftwing outlet from Daily Kos to Vox to Jezebel. What're they going to do the #DropKiwiFarms activists or Elliot didn't do?
Seriously, what'll they do? Nobody knows where Josh lives, so SWATing him is impossible. If you've hidden your ass the way Josh has suggested, even subpoenaing him for user information won't work. Are they going to drive us from the internet by going after our hosting providers, ISPs, and datacenters? #DropKiwiFarms already did that, and we survived. Josh is gearing up for Total Retard War with the one ISP in Washington, and it will hopefully set a precedent we can use if anyone else tries those shenanigans. Are they going to slander us as racist transphobes? That's our reputation already. Sue us? For what? Ethically, we're in the gray, but legally we're fine.
I'll admit, one danger we could face are literally thousands of people filing separate lawsuits in forma pauperis (translation: filing for free because they have no money), but I'm sure there's a way to work around that (the courts will probably force it to be a class action suit, since they don't want to waste their time with thousands of frivolous lawsuits.)
Seriously, what do you think will happen?
