CenturyLink/Qwest/Layer3 blocks Kiwi Farms

[Great Dane]

The @DropKiwiFarms account is also trying to get Arelion to drop Kiwi Farms.

I have Mint (a T-Mobile MVNO), and it works for me at this exact moment in time. Not that I would ever phonepost!

It´s insane how many different ways there are to go after a website.

 

[Random Internet Person]

Sure, but what I’m getting at is that as legacy media institutions fail to adequately evolve, fedbucks will become an important part of their financial solvency’

Hasn't grants and bailouts been a staple for them since at least the Obama Administration?

Of course they are. THis crusade is all they have in life.

We must HACK THE PLANET!

Really, though, this is absolute lunacy ಠ_ಠ

I wish saving the internet was as easy as hiding a floppy disk in a trash can

 

[Not Really Here]

Odd. I'm using T-Mobile and Century Link, in California if all places, and the site is up and working great. When it was down during the last attack Century Link took my support ticket and the guy working it seemed genuinely interested in what was going on. I still wonder if he was a fellow kiwi.

Hasn’t worked for me since yesterday. It must be dependent on location if it’s working for some people.

Centurylink sold their legacy copper based infrastructure and operations in 2021. They just transferred employees and assets a few months ago, this may be location dependent.

I didn't care about it, because all I ever heard about it at the time was Redditors' incoherent REEEEEEing at its repeal.

That's why you should use your brain instead of basing your opinions on what Reddit thinks.

Longer. Can anyone remember a time when NPR was centrist? But grants come from money appointed for shit like “developing art and culture” on the face, and it’s just nepotism that makes them go to the left.

Payments directly from a three letter intelligence agency are a different kind of animal.

It wasn't that easy - they were all pretty good at rollerblading too.

>Net Neutrality

Is this what the right means whenever they say "reap what you sow"?

Don't forget the prequel from 2012:

Unsurprisingly he wrote this (or had it ghostwritten) after somebody was mean to him on the interwebz.

 

[Karma Khan]

I'm on T-Mobile's 5G Home Internet and I've yet to have any issues accessing the site via clearnet.

 

[I Can Smell My Balls]

What the fuck does milo have to do with any of this? He's a retarded faggot he's always been a retarded faggot and he said what he said back then because it was "provocative" and he claims he's broke because he's a retarded faggot.

 

[garlic mayo]

Anyone else using three's network and getting blocked on mobile data too?

 

[Blewberry Nausea]

Look kiwifarms should be a BBS on usenet change my mind

 

[Happy Little War Painter]

I'm really glad I got off centurylink. Horrible company I have never had the pleasure working with. Not much happier to be on starlink, but at least stupid shit like this isn't happening (yet).

 

[Meat Target]

Situations like this are exactly why "I'll just do the exact opposite of what (insert group I don't like here) does! That'll show 'em!" is a retarded way to form one's opinions and is no replacement for critical thinking no matter how cathartic it may seem. Seriously people. Support net neutrality, even if troons and redditors would theoretically benefit from it too.

That's why you should use your brain instead of basing your opinions on what Reddit thinks.

When all you can hear about an issue is unintelligible histrionics, you can't really make a good judgment.

Good old internet censorship at it’s finest, good to know that all the “Big Bucks” are going to the wrong brainless hairless apes

Actually, their right in the US, as private ISPs, to drop you is not absolute, cf. this article:

The Right to Refuse Service and Its Implications on Society

Summary: A business owner has the right to refuse service as long as he or she does not infringe upon federal or state discrimination laws. Background Across the nation, businesses display and enforce their right to refuse service. Whether a customer is causing a nuisance or is dressed...

dukeundergraduatelawmagazine.org

depending on where this is all happening, it may be illegal for them to drop you because the reason itself causes the discrimination to be illegal.

Sure, no net neutrality - *however* ISPs cannot block *because* of race etc. and depending on the state bcs of political differences.

Section 230 shields internet providers from a lot of liability but does not shield them for discrimination on an illegal ground (again, depending on the state, differences in political opinion as a basis for discrimination are illegal).

Also depending on the details there are anti-monopoly and anti-speculation laws (the only baker in the village cannot refuse to sell you bread).

I wonder what would happen if the Bad ISPs customers started to complain too, because there might be other websites that the ISP is blocking. If I couldn't access your website because my ISP doesn't like it, I would try to get a list of other websites they are blocking so that I know what services are rendered for the money I pay.

For extreme autism, one could be an Irate Customer and go to a small claims court or equivalent. If they decide to stop services there might be anti-speculation/monopoly laws coming into effect.

This is an example of anti-monopoly/speculation legislation (which imho doesn't apply here but just to show you that these laws exist):

15 U.S. Code § 13 - Discrimination in price, services, or facilities

Fucking faggots. My home internet (AT&T) juuuust started getting wonky with accessing the Farms, but that could be their shittiness.

 

[Kiwi Fairy With Bow]

I'm so fucking sick of these retards. I can imagine the amount of harassment and "Girl talks" calls they have made. Its fucking gross and ridiculous.
