    It's like I explained above. It's safe to assume they don't care that much about free speech, because Null has banned people for dissent. An example: https://ghostarchive.org/archi…

    >He doesn't allow doxxing out of a commitment to free speech. To rephrase that sentence: Free speech isn't the reason he allows doxing on the forum.

    He also hasn't lost any cases yet. Other than Melinda Scott, all the other lawsuits against him are ongoing.

    Service providers have already been policing websites. It didn't start with kiwifarms. If you go on twitter and look at the profiles of registrars like namecheap, you'll often see …

    If he just wanted kiwifarms to be a gossip forum he could have banned doxxing. He doesn't allow doxxing out of a commitment to free speech. The forum doesn't actually have that muc…

    I don't think he'd qualify for the good faith moderation mentioned in section 230. He's only won cases against Melinda Scott.

    What unfounded allegations about the site have been allowed?

    Some of the examples are rather recent, and there's no evidence of the site's behavior changing. The point is that the site has allowed harassment, contrary to what the owner claim…

    That page I linked lists all of the laws in the usa about revenge porn. Kiwifarms isn't based in nevada as far as I am aware, I believe it's west virginia or florida.

    It's archived links to things the owner of the site has said. Instead of complaining about keffals, why don't you address the complains there.

    I assume part of the confusion that people have is that kiwifarms harassment is not (always) blatantly obvious. Most of the time, they don't outright say "go harass this person" (u…
