Kiwi Farms is down across all domains as DDoS-Guard terminates service

Maybe you didn't (though I have absolutely no evidence of that) - but people that pushed CloudFlare to drop KF certainly did. And there is evidence that the same people actually planted at least some of the content they used to trigger that decision, too.

It's your choice to shun the providers that support free speech (yes, that means letting people you do not like speak, there was a time once that even ACLU understood that) - but it's not what happened here.

I suggest you submit your evidence to your local FBI office. Since the pressure was partially on Twitter, they should be able to begin arrests for the DDoS attack.

Real people were swatted by real posts on KiwiFarms. No tears will be spilt if these internet tough guys/gals can't afford their hosting bill and thus close down shop. Another group of keyboard heroes face minor consequences for their disgusting actions.

Your view of free speech isn't workable. You tell others to preemptively hamper their own liberty and free speech so these habitual line steppers can preach intolerance.

What you want is the freedom to speak without consequence. That will never exist, nor should it.
