There is no business case to continue to provide services to KiwiFarms. It is an explicitly political decision, and one that should be seen as a moral stain on the industry. https://zpr.io/...

Kiwi Farms is an extremist-friendly forum that has been the breeding ground for countless harassment campaigns, including this recent brutal campaign of swatting, doxing and hacking. It is past time for @Cloudflare to #DropKiwiFarms. https://www.cbc.ca/...

Unfortunately for the rest of the Internet, the CEO of Crimeflare prides himself on hosting anyone. He only even booted the Nazis at Stormfront because the Nazis had the gall to tell the truth and say “See, Cloudflare supports our viewpoint”. https://twitter.com/...

they concern the internet's infrastructure and whether, and in what way, infrastructure providers should engage in content moderation. https://www.protocol.com/...

All our collective efforts have put Kiwifarms offline, but there is no guarantee that they will stay offline. We have weakened them, but if they return, we need to increase our efforts until we can deliver a death blow. We will continue to put pressure on @Cloudflare to drop them

Its owner runs it under a company name that is a direct reference to the Holocaust, and also provides hosting services to officially recognized terrorist groups. He also personally reposted the Christchurch massacre manifesto and live video. So yeah.

Here's what @eastdakota had to say when terminating service for 8chan (now 8kun). Tell me how this doesn't apply verbatim to KiwiFarms. #DropKiwifarms https://blog.cloudflare.com/ ... https://twitter.com/... https://twitter.com/...

We've gotten Kiwifarms to trend for three days. Cloudflare doesn't care how many suicides the website they support causes, but they do care if this becomes a PR nightmare that hurts their bottom line. Please get #CloudflareProtectsTerrorists and #DropKiwifarms to trend.

Kiwifarms is back up via Cloudflare, who continue to retain them as a customer by choice. They have threads for thousands of people, basically everybody in tech. Except Cloudflare CEO @eastdakota. https://twitter.com/...

Dear @Cloudflare, Kiwi Farms has been stalking our sisters, brothers, and enby siblings for YEARS. Now that we as a community are finally standing up to it, you are sorely mistaken if you think #DropCloudflare will blow over after a week or two. Do right, #DropKiwifarms already. …
