The modern 'Net is demonstrating the ability to interpret abuse as damage and route around it.

Maybe if they decide to become platforms exclusively dedicated to harrassment, stop prohibiting and removing that type of content, and actively encourage it.
Until then, it doesn't seem likely.

#33Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'd be interested to know if the users of the site would be brave and willing enough to pin Kiwi Farm's content to their attributable/personally owned devices... Surely some of the appeal or enablers for the behaviour on there is that someone else is wearing the legal risk of storing it all
There are pinning services, that do the pinning for a fee. But Those can also be DDosed I suppose. Can have multiple pinners of course but, but I doubt that makes a difference in the longer term.
And of course the pinning services can drop them just like cloudflare and DDOS-guard did.

#35Works fine for me on Tor.
Tor won’t go down - for now. Once his host buckles, all belts are off.

#36Real principled stance there from their CEO - 3 days to totally flip-flop? I mean, if your stance is we will ban content we arbitrarily find bad then just state it as such. Put into your agreement terms precisely what is and isn’t allowed. Be consistent. This “conflicted” act makes them look weak and of questionable leadership. Either take a principled stance on speech or put into your terms how you censor speech.
My headcanon is that Price wanted to take a stand, but the legal team actually took a better look at the situation because of the pressure and had a long meeting, explaining to him why it's a really bad idea. I hope we learn what really happened in a few years.
Reason: twice I sent messages directly to appropriate teams at (large-companies) with something like "are you aware of what your ceo is doing at (link)" which was followed by the team sending a new response and ceo disappearing from that conversation.

#37Something I'm curious about in this whole thing: who is DDoSing kiwifarms? Most people find their content reprehensible but does that usually translate into people DDoSing something?
Wouldn't surprise me. People used to DDoS to knock competitor IRC networks offline for laughs, never mind something people believe in.
It helps it's the easiest way to do damage to a website and you just can pay someone to do the tech part of the hack. A DDoS attack is as easy to buy as the web hosting you're attacking now, back in the day you had to set up the botnet yourself

DDOS attacks enabled by Cloudflare and DDOS-Guard protecting the attackers.

#40It looks like KiwiFarms is still running on their onion site:
