KF was made _for_ harassment, that's very different.

Facebook was made for sexual harassment. It was originally made so that Zucc and his friends could rate the girls at Harvard.

‘ratsmack: harassment was explicitly their stated goal from the very beginning. The very name is a play on the first person they decided to go after (and why the forum formed).

Even if Facebook were made for harassment (which it wasn’t; you’re thinking of the website pre-FB), they would have since evolved and given that up.

KF never evolved.

dunno, maybe I didn't browse the 'right' threads for that, but those that I read were just making fun of someone (or a group of people)
