Authoritarian groups are already targeting groups "you support", states and countries are telling tech services to take down lesbian and gay support groups, and states in the US have effectively forced abortion services offline.

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.
