From what I heard there was a false flag bomb threat

For reference sake, here’s the post:

> Just rang up a couple of lads down in Belfast and asked them to plant bombs in all of those places. also, 3 armed men will be at each place, waiting.

Seems to have been moderated/scrubbed from the keffals thread but I do see replies referencing it.

The post was screenshotted and posted to Twitter almost instantly and it seems that the post itself was quickly moderated and the user banned.

Seems like a straw that broke the camel’s back situation, but it’s very odd how CloudFlare is talking about “moderation” when it seems as though KiwiFarms quickly took care of moderating it themselves.

And fwiw, I had no idea what KiwiFarms was before this week.

If true, an ingenious way to de-cloudflare someone, which will be used many times again.

It has to be done in conjunction with protests by a politically protected group

Whatever do you mean, an imminent threat to life is an imminent threat to life. Say, does Hacker News use Cloudflare?

I wouldn't give the trolls trading screenshots too much credit here. I assume Cloudflare is a little more savvy than that.

I don't.

Nothing new for KF. What is new is the attention is now on Cloudflare
