It is rhetorical. CF admits that they have contacted law enforcement several times about contact in kiwi farm. They clearly get the hosting of the “problematic” content. They understand how that site is used. That seems like an admission of guilt to me!

Anyone who wants to be a bit of an activist investor: who at the company is putting the company at needless legal risk?

As far as I'm aware, KF didn't come with the kind of direct liability under US law that sex work content does. I welcome the chance to learn that I'm wrong here!

This seems like the correct thing. They realise the content is dodgy.

Report to law enforcement repeatedly hoping that they look at it and give them a legal reason to shut them down.

If they shut things down as a private company, so long as the customer is not in breach of the service contract and the content is not illegal, couldn’t they mount a defence?

This sounds like a reasonable strategy. I don’t understand this need for private justice.
