Virgin UK is blocking DNS Resolution to kiwifarms dot net

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

Might not be the right thread for this kind of editorial thought but I want to express how aggravating and disturbing it really is that our farms get blocked like this, the "hate site" narrative is easily dispelled if you spend any time at all here listening to people talk. It may be autistic to be proud of any internet forum, but by all means rev up your puzzle pieces because I'm proud to be part of this one.

I'm curious as to what we did that made them so nervous that they had to block us of all people.

I'm just getting this mental image of some UK Tory's office looking at us making fun of Jerry Peet again and being like: "THIS WILL FIX THEM FOR SURE!"

And that is fucking hilarious.

Same reason for the porn blocks, moral crusading. This place is a mean nazi troll site and therefore needs to be deleted off the internet, don't you know.

EDIT: Apologies for double post!

if that were the case, there'd be 'voluntary' blocks in place for all ISPs, not just Virgin, like they did with The Pirate Bay and similar free-market entertainment distribution entrepreneurs (voluntary in the sense that if you don't agree, the government does their level best to ruin you)

My ISP is Virgin and I haven't been able to access kiwifarms.net without Google DNS for months now. This is old news. It's likely that a cow complained directly to Virgin (and potentially other ISPs, who may or may not have blocked DNS resolution to the site) given this isn't a court ordered block, it's the ISP blocking the site. I assumed this was some fuckery with my internet connection rather than the site being blocked, guess I was wrong.

So what shows up if you try to log onto the Farms from Virgin Media?

It simply refuses to connect.

I should note that none of the alternate domains are blocked, only kiwifarms.net.

Give it a thought. What cow is British and has went to about every type of provider to get us taken down, going as far as bringing down our servers at least once a month?

Is there any concern of this happening in America? I mean I know you gotta do a lot more than cry about hurt feelings for this to fly in the US, but what are the actual legal circumstances of this? I heard net neutrality was cut, is that true? Does that mean yes?

My knowledge of the American system is rusty so take with much salt. As far as I understand, it is determined on a state level. Targeted blocking of domains at a state level could happen if it were pushed hard enough but there would have to be significant corporate or political interest for that to happen as far as i'm aware. For now I believe our American cousins are safe.

for what it's worth, this is what you see when you try to access an officially blocked site:
