The Marker (Haaretz financial section) -
How do you block a website without taking down the entire internet? Ran Bar-Zik explains (link)
Author: Ran Bar-Zik (Twitter)

The actual piece is (((paywalled))) but it's in Hebrew in any case. Here's a bunch of Hebrew tweets mentioning Keffals and #DropKiwiFarms for the laughs:

I think this counts as an immediate threat to @Null's life and should result in service providers dropping Haaretz:

"I didn't want to add graphic descriptions of what I would love to do to the creator of the website".

The tone in the comments section of the first article is much more reasonable, with people weighing to pros and cons of a company like Cloudflare making a decision like this. The commends in the second article is just "REEEEEEEE THEY KILLED LIKE 3 TRANNIES." Worst offender in my opinion is some swampnigger quoting the "Kiwi users have kill counts in their bio" lie.

I dated a Journalist. She explained her job was basically to contact the press divisions of various outlets and rewrite what they already told her, outisde of that, her editor would give her an assigned article. Investigative journalism isn't a thing. Media is controlled.
