Forcing professors investing all their life into advancement of human civilization out of universities because they said a funny word? The should lose all their possessions, it's completely harmless and right, trust me!
Calling someone names and pointing out things that are glaring OPSEC mistakes? Immediately drop and do everything to attack them!
p.s.: it's very sad to see enthusiasts and prominent engineers like Marcan getting corrupted by the plague of our times.
I am member of a badminton club, we have a code-of-conduct. It contains things like:
- Don't harass other players
- Don't harass or be an ass towards refs
- Don't litter it the gym, keep it tidy
- Don't take performance-enhancing drugs
- and a few other such rules.
Why do we have to ask a judge in a court of law to be able to stop associating with a team-mate that keeps shouting sexual expletives at referees, keeps littering in the locker rooms, and generally makes the situation unpleasant? Why can't we just use our first amendment (or equivalent elsewhere) rights and stop associating?
Tech giants started justifying their abuses through "nazis bad" and now pointing out US support for Azov gets your website hidden.

In a statement to The Sunday Times, the PSNI said they received a report of an incident last Tuesday.
“Officers attended the scene but found nothing ongoing on their arrival. Inquiries are continuing surrounding the incident which is being treated as hate-motivated at this time,” a PSNI spokesperson added.
It's a terrible art people master. It's like the worst hateful accounts on twitter which are extremely clean - you couldn't report a single tweet, yet we know exactly what they mean. Of course this account for explicitly-super-straight is not against anyone. Of course all this public information collected on specific people and their connections is for fun and not an invitation to harass them.
Where did Cloudflare give this evidence? Are you the administrator of Kiwifarms? They certainly haven't shared this in public.
I may be wrong.
(I don't know if I believe Null, personally, but both he and keffals are about as reliable narrators as Humbert Humbert.)
I agree it's unlikely CF would give a justification. (Hence why I said I don't necessarily believe Null.)
yeah, because it's so difficult to just SWAT someone and claim you're someone you're not? The MTG swatter literally used text-to-speech and said roughly "I'm from Kiwifarms and this is my username: ...". why would anyone go to the trouble of disguising their voice only to tell police who they really are? Null made it very clear that he cooperates with law enforcement if illegal content is put on the site. if it was actually that user, he'd be in a jail cell by now. there was no discussion of anything like this in any thread prior to the attack. it's so obviously a hoax.
why do people have such a fucking blind spot about this? it's the 911 equivalent of a phishing email with a forged sender address. it's trivial.
Because either you care and can spend 5min to find many personal threads on how this impacted people's lives, or not. I'm not here to summarise this for you. This is not random internet drama for entertainment.
Here's a former FBI Asst. Dir. asserting that they do [0] (archive link in case it's removed [1]). I'll grant you that the government can and has lied, but all of this seems a lot like one side full of tremendously shitty people saying they're not guilty, and the other side saying the opposite. In the absence of definitive proof, I'll go with character.

I defend kiwifarms because it's funny and it's one of the last bastions of free speech on the internet.
Also, cute edit. Would make a perfect reply to yourself.
Oh, another edit. Well, ok then. You think it's "funny" with racism, antisemitism, transphobia and doxxing/harassing people. Case closed.
the idea that a website ought to be completely erased from the internet just because people on it say mean things is a very new idea, and one that I haven't been convinced by.
if you don't like it, just don't visit.
I found it shocking that the person behind the dropkiwifarms campaign does openly say they are making home-made drugs, and proudly say they will organise for children to take it without parental consent. I'm sure this must be illegal?
This is entirely ignored in all reporting of the Cloudflare situation. If I was a reporter and I saw this in my 5 minutes of research, I would very quickly find someone else to be the spokesperson of dropkiwifarms.
It is. She's distributing controlled substances/substances that require a prescription. Essentially she's practicing medicine without a license. This would be true even if she were helping adults.
