> Today we filed an official complaint against @henet (Hurricane Electric) with the @AGOWA (Attorney General of Washington State) over their censorship of legal and protected speech. We have also reached out to the @EFF who has previously shown support in protecting the foundation of free speech on the internet.
> Free speech is for everyone, even those you disagree with. Dropping routes to a subnet in the middle of the night with no notice and with no prior complaints or concerns expressed is not a way to do business. Under Washington State House Bill 2282, ISPs may not "Block lawful content"
The speech concerned is the hosting of the website Kiwi Farms. Their statement:

Kiwi Farms has a body count. Because of its tolerance of hate, cyberbullying, and doxxing that has resulted in at least three deaths, it cannot be considered "lawful content".

He won't, but this article does [0]. It was written by an unbiased third party of KF and has a section that goes into detail about the three people that supposedly died by the hands of KF. The TL;DR is that two of them had other reasons for their death, and it's pretty reasonable (and morally correct) to assume KF had nothing to do with their demise.
The third one, Byuu, is a bit more nuanced. From all the information that is publicly available about the incident, there has been zero primary sources that confirm or deny their death. All headlines that I could find cite USAtoday their source, whose only source is a man named Hector Martin, who essentially just said "trust me bro" on twitter. The most concrete evidence to Byuu's death is a single picture of an urn that was taken and posted months after the fact, supposedly taken by their former employer who was living in a completely different country at the time.

I can't even tell if this comment is pure biting satire, especially on account of the last sentence. Or if it is meant to be taken at face value.

Like it or not, Liz has a lot of influence in the network infrastructure community, and her methods are effective. Thanks largely to her efforts, the internet as a whole plays by new rules, and cannot be assumed to be politically neutral.

No, it actually doesn't. The only person who even casually mentions KF, can't even be confirmed dead. Only hearsay through a friend of a friend etc.

This is a dangerous moment in internet history. The line between its destruction, at the VERY LEAST in principle, and continued existence is in the air.. And all most people can think about is how much they don't like what a bunch of people post in their own little corner of the net.
