He streamed on Facebook... The stream and manifesto I saw on other sites... not kiwifarms unique... What else...

Doxxing, yes. But any discussion about harassing people will get you banned.

Why doxx someone unless you are implying a threat of harassment against them?

Why get a website's ddos protection removed unless you're planning on ddosing it?

Cloudflare doesn't just offer DDoS protection, though.

Websites like Kiwifarms play a cat and mouse game with hosting providers, who typically don't want to host them. Cloudflare's other services make it easier to conceal which hosting provider is involved, making it harder to (legally!) pressure them. DDoS isn't the only way to take a site down.

So you've verified the person in the screenshot saying they've arranged for bombs to be planted has been banned?

Yes, the post was quickly removed but screenshots only take a moment.

"Here's the personal info on this person that we all hate and constantly talk shit about. It includes their address and contact information. We're totally putting this out here for innocent reasons. We trust you guys won't go harass these people now because that's against our rules!"

Whatever people do by themselves is their own business.

This is nonsense. No man is an island. You are effectively saying that fame and peer pressure don't exist.

There's obvious motivations to take things "just one step further" with a community that eggs such behaviors on.

And that's true from a legal perspective as well. Tons of law deals with people who were not the individual to did the criminal deed, but instead offered the opportunity to do it or encouraged it.

We don't live in some libertarian fantasy where every individual operates wholly separate from one another. It's just not how we as a species are wired.

So just making sure I understand you correctly here.. You think that nobody is entitled to privacy or their own opinions unless certain other people approve?

swatting, stalking and harassment are banned on the site and always have been (look, don't touch) and there is not a single bit of evidence that the mass shooter you speak of even knew KF existed. You're thinking about mainstream social media.. That's where he streamed the shooting from.

Why do you say the forum itself is "dedicated" to those things?

How "hosting" someone posted makes them responsible considering section 230 and the 1st A?

"It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter."

It's obviously not the only place they was hosted, or the place they were originally posted (I think the manifesto originated from 4chan and the stream would have been Twitch or YT or some other live-streaming platform - no idea which).
