But the reason that Fong-Jones is obsessed with taking the site offline is not any of those threads, but this one:

Is there anything in that thread that you would consider to be good reason for an Internet backbone company to do everything in their power to censor the entire site? And not even with a court order or anything like that, but merely at the request of the subject of the thread.

Her Social security number was posted on KF, and this is something that came up in her leaked complaint emails.

Why do you consider the posting of his SSN to be a valid reason for a Tier 1 provider to censor the entire site?

Also it's interesting how this provider isn't attempting to do the same for Doxbin, which is the source of this dox:

This indicates that it's not really about the SSN (which isn't even visible publicly on the KF thread), it's just a convenient excuse for censoring free speech that Fong-Jones and his helpers don't like.
