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.
