I don't think I saw this posted here yet, but an Aussie article outlines how Troon-Fong-Jones is doing exactly what Josh was talking about on Friday's MATI: going after the IP allocation.

The speculation in the Keffals thread is looking more prescient, that Keffals is a useful idiot covering for Fong-Jones' continued harassment of the site from 5 years ago. Lucas just managed to do PR way better, and get public sympathy, instead of being the obnoxious troon hated by his co-workers at Google.

[Australia's Online Safety Act] typically wouldn’t be a problem for a US-hosted website outside of Australia’s jurisdiction. However, Fong-Jones claims that Kiwi Farms operates using an IP address leased to an Australian shell company by the regional internet address registry the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre (APNIC). Kiwi Farms is operated by American company 1776 Solutions LLC. This company uses IP space assigned from Australian company Flow Chemical Pty Ltd, which does not appear to use its delegation of addresses for anything else...
Fong-Jones has asked the eSafety Commissioner to request that APNIC withdraw 1776 Solutions’ hosting, taking Kiwi Farms offline around the world, and to order CloudFlare to stop caching Kiwi Farms — or face enforcement actions. Both companies have Australian directors who could be subject to those fines.
Fong-Jones told Crikey that she had received a receipt of her complaint from the office. A spokesperson for the Office of the eSafety Commissioner didn’t confirm or deny that they had received a complain. They told Crikey that they don’t discuss the details of an investigation.
