Cogent's CEO is directly involved in trying to censor the Kiwi Farms

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.

The term LGBTQ fascinates me. It has nothing to do with homosexuality at this point, even less to do with lesbians. I think even the goober who wrote that e mail knows how silly it would sound to ask if Kiwi farms hates gay people and lesbians. It’s also surreal that this is supposed to be a serious person with a real job who wrote this.
For some reason I read the Cogent rep's response in the infuriating voice Null puts on whenever he quotes a tranny on MATI.
 
So will Cogent now be quasi-illegally blackholing all sites with anti-gay content? Or are we special for some reason?

Also, Null's telegram post says we're not going to do anything about it, but what SHOULD we do? Send money, sure, but besides that.
If there were some way to make a zillion sites that do nothing but redirect to or mirror the Farms, to make it a constant game of whack-a-mole (similar to how Flash portals drove high school admins insane in the 90s/2000s) , that might be helpful to mitigate it.

Aside from that...run traffic for the TOR network...call your congressperson....hell, call Hamas and say Dave is censoring their Internet?

I'm suddenly curious if Cogent provides service/transit to any state government agencies in states which have passed "Anti-LGBTQIAP+" legislation.
Obviously those laws are an anti-LGBTQIAP+ message and directly target members of those marginalized communities.
 
Why task the account manager to send this janny tier email response, shouldn't a company this size have actual legal representatives that can bother to write a coherent and informative response without sounding like some dismissive dickhead?

Acount managment is just there to pamper (potential) customers and oversee contract negotiation, not to write replys to the fart porn video hoster.
 
Null seems to have blurred out the guy's name everywhere except the "from" bubble. Oops... Honest mistake, could happen to anyone, right?

I wonder how much pull Michael Denzin, Global Account Manager (A) at Cogent, actually has?

BTW this coincidence from the "People also viewed" sidebar made me laugh out loud.

Credit where it's due: at least Michael knows how to spell "doxing" correctly.

I expected some faggy millennial to be behind that email, but it's from a 67 year-old fat guy. Boomers continue to be the absolute worst.

I think it's about time we start buying cables and switches and shit.

Or make Joah go with his idea of printed zine and leave the i(I)nternet behind.

How about door #3:

Detective work on Mr. Michael Denzin. Bring ALL the autism and put on your deerstalker hats.

Pictures of "Heritage HS" and a highschool gym, which can only be the high school at 520 Evergreen Mills Rd SE, Leesburg, VA 20175
Pictures of LEGO exhibits at the Dullas Expo Center
"Lansdowne Tavern with my two favorites with Anne DeShano Denzin." ( Coton and Rye, 44050 Woodridge Pkwy, Leesburg, VA 20176 )

None of his Facebook pics Ive checked have any GPS info in the EXIF.

^ mentions a jacob, which matches with pictures of what appear to be his son on his FB account

How big is the check you're cutting me for it?
Personally, this corporate misbehavior is pissing me off to the tune of 4 figures.
I'm sure there are a few people like me on the site.
Full Honesty: crowdfund?

In terms of legalities, I wouldn't be bitching for constraints on what to follow: whichever of the very low hanging fruit would get the most traction, be it LFJ and her paid goon, or cogent's much more specific tortious interference via specific and disprovable defamatory allegations, or anything else your chosen counsel prefers to gain relief for lolcow LLC or 1776
