Has it?
Some of the people Kiwifarms harassed were driven to suicide. Your argument is that having a forum taken offline is a more extreme form of harm than literal death?
Instead it is that this precedent can be used by much more authoritarian groups to target groups that you support.
Now its KF, and after that other countries are telling these tech services to take down gay and lesbian support groups, or even a state in the US could force abortion services offline.
Its a loophole that could be used as an end run around the 1st amendment, to take out groups that you support just as much as it can be used against things that you want taken down.
Are you OK with sacrificing those groups for your cause? What would you tell them? That they are just worthwhile collateral damage?
Those things have and are happening, and kiwifarms is not the reason any of that occur.
Yes they are, and when other websites get taken down this gives leverage to authoritarian groups to target them even more.
It directly increases the amount of requires and pressure that is put on them, even though, yes, pressure is already on these groups.
The pressure increases every time a provider caves to demands.
Malware and phishing are illegal.
Fascist genocidal maniacs want to kill everyone that disagrees with them, including the gays.
Neat slippery slope you’ve crafted, but it doesn’t logically follow.
You also can’t walk in to a crowded space and yell “FIRE”, I guess that means the gubment is coming for your houses heating?
This is repeated often but there's no proof for these claims. There's more evidence that Reddit has a greater kill count than KF.
So far, every "way" that's been developed of dealing with people who harm others has itself been used to harm others in more extreme ways than the harm they were supposed to mitigate.
