Disaster Under Pressure, Security Firm Cloudflare drops Kiwi Farms Website - Noted LoTT doxer Taylor Lorenz weigh ins

SAN FRANCISCO — Reversing course under growing public pressure, major tech security company Cloudflare announced Saturday that it will stop protecting the Kiwi Farms website, best known as a place for stalkers to organize hacks, online campaigns and real-world harassment.
Cloudfare chief executive Matthew Prince, who this past week published a lengthy blog post justifying the company’s services defending Kiwi Farms, told The Washington Post he changed his mind not because of the pressure but a surge in credible violent threats stemming from the site.
“As Kiwi Farms has felt more threatened, they have reacted by being more threatening,” Prince said. “We think there is an imminent danger, and the pace at which law enforcement is able to respond to those threats we don’t think is fast enough to keep up.”
Prince said contributors to the forum were posting home addresses of those seen as enemies and calling for them to be shot.
Kiwi Farms launched in 2013 and quickly grew into a popular internet forum for online harassment campaigns. At least three suicides have been tied to harassment stemming from the Kiwi Farms community, and many on the forum consider their goal to drive their targets to suicide. Members of the LGBTQ community and women are frequent targets.
Cloudflare has faced broad backlash in the past week as a campaign for it to drop the service gained steam and widened to pressure paying customers to drop Cloudflare if it held firm.
Two weeks ago, Prince said the company stopped selling Kiwi Farms a $20 per month service to customize error messages shown to web users when its pages wouldn’t load. On Saturday, it withdrew the remaining free services, which fend off denial-of-service attacks and speed content delivery by making copies of the site in many locations.
Clara Sorrenti, a trans Canadian Twitch streamer known online as Keffals, launched the #DropKiwiFarms campaign after being targeted by Kiwi Farms posters for over half a year.
Forum users had repeatedly doxed Sorrenti and her family, posting addresses and more, and last month they called in false crime reports to draw police to her home. Sorrenti fled to Northern Ireland late last month, and within 48 hours users of the forum had pinpointed her location and she began receiving threats.
On Saturday, she spoke with The Post just minutes after police had arrived at her residence after another swatting attempt.
“There are countless people suffering because of this website,” Sorrenti said. “Kiwi Farms isn’t about free speech, it’s about hate speech. The majority of the content on the site is threads used for targeted harassment against political targets.”
Sorrenti’s campaign against Cloudflare went viral in the past several days, with organizations and influencers joining in the call to ban Kiwi Farms from Cloudflare’s service. The Anti-Defamation League called Kiwi Farms an “extremist-friendly forum that has been the breeding ground for countless harassment campaigns.”
In the interview, Prince said he was uncomfortable dropping Kiwi Farms despite its content and would have preferred a court order.
But he said it was an easier call than his previous decisions to drop neo-Nazi site the Daily Stormer and the 8chan website because those two were not hotbeds for specific violent plots.
Lorenz reported from Los Angeles.

There's no web archive of it but people from the thread say it was real, just deleted quickly by jannies as it ought to have been.

It doesn't matter, the ban had nothing to do with that post. Lots of sites have edgy retards posting on them, it's just their excuse so they can capitulate to the troons while pretending that's totally not the reason why.

This is the claimed post that caused cloud flare to bite. A bloody Joe Job. And Cloud Flare calls themselves an internet security company.

I cannot find the user's account of the claimed post. Is IF that post wasn't faked, and IF the account wasn't deleted, we have zero evidence that this wasn't a Joe Job from the Keffals Klan.

The post by washizu was so obviously fake / made by the troonsquad I can’t believe anyone fell for this. It‘s the old againsthatesubreddits strategy when they can’t get a sub banned right away. Then they’ll post shit like this and screenshot it immediately and send it to the mods. Just like what happened here.

bombs???
100% fake, low effort and possibly gay.

Link 2, weird, it's almost like your name changed from @Serotonin over the past two weeks specifically because you were planning gay ops.
Two year old account with a recent name change. Someone decided to be a traitorous faggot.

I've known for many years that the media lie and twist facts to suit their narrative, but to see it happen in real time about something I'm actively involved in is a real fucking eye-opener. Not to mention frustrating as fuck.

We laughed at the schizos, and now they're laughing at us.
At this point the only impossible solution would be making our own satellite for our own internet. Assuming they won't commit a fucking crime and try to ballistic missile it down.
A reasonable solution is to minimize the amount of fed posting because it is now the new bad thing to do on the internet unless you have a blue checkmark.
edit: I fucked up my texts.

Why did Lucas crop out the bottom row of the fedpost? If the IP was in Ireland... Really makes you thunk



I said it in chat and I'll say it again, this is the Kiwi Vietcong era. The troons think they napalmed us, but we are simply waiting in the foxholes to emerge with a victorious... YWNBAW

Tech companies, pharmaceutical companies, NGOs, cooperating with large US organizations--are actively involved in destroying free speech on the internet. I was reading a thread about that particular topic this morning, before the regular site was shut down. This shit is coordinated. They want to take the site down.
It's a dark day when I have no doubts left about the fact that my country, which has always claimed to promote "free speech", is actively trying to destroy all free speech on earth.

That's the power of tech tranny influence. You touch the troon mafia and you disappear

Now from the .ru domain we get to see which trannies have ties to the Kremlin as they go start complaining to the Russian authorities.

Funnily enough, this article is going to attract a shit ton of traffic for those curious. The potential wave of newfags in the coming months is going to be interesting.

That's a joke as there are thousands of physical threats aimed at people like JKR, threatening her with death, complete with references to weapons such as that, on Twitter, every single day.

 

[selfKaiHarness]

Thank you null for bringing this site back. You are a true gigachad.
Fuck trannies, fuck keffals, and fuck censorship. They can go to hell.
Freedom of speech cannot be stopped. Long live kiwifarms!

Ever played with one of those dino dig things? The American government and large corporations have been chipping away at the constitution like a block of sand for decades.

I don't know what's worst, is it the CEO of cf being a total fag and actually bending the knee for a troon pedo or actually Twitter don't understand don't mess with the bird?

 

[Joggin Noggin]

Newer account posts threats on site
Threat get taken down asap, as this type of shit always is because fuck people who do that, and the poster is banned.
Keffals "somehow" has a screenshot of this new post before it was taken down.
Cloudflare drops KF.
Lorenz and other journo scum "somehow" have a story to drop about all of this in mere minutes after it takes place.

Am I getting the timeline correct here? This gay op shit glows so bright
