KF has a very explicit policy to not interact with subjects of a thread. Discussions about harassing them will get you banned.

I see that policy works extremely well in cases like <https://twitter.com/keffals/status/1566153033586810885>. As long as you give all the information necessary for someone interested to interact in a harmful way, it's fine, but you have to frame it in a way that doesn't suggest harassment. Just speculate about all the locations they could possibly be having lunch, and trust that nobody will harass them.

Spreading rumors about them and interacting with friends, family, and known associates is fair game. Also posting their public contact information is also fair game.

I presume users on kiwifarms (KF) use https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_construction techniques to publish private information elsewhere (such as private addresses) so that the information can then legally be reposted on KF. Coordination-of-information has an accomplice role in some of the illegal activities "reported" by KF.

>private addresses

Addresses aren't private information.

Oh yes they are, what you’re arguing is that they aren’t secret.

I think you are confusing private and personal. Someone's name is personal information, but it is also public information.

This strategy will not ultimately survive contact with law enforcement. They need to stop doxxing.
