It's because Kiwi Farms embraces doxing. It's not illegal and it's not morally wrong: if you don't want your details blasted over the internet, 1) try harder with privacy, and 2) don't broadcast your batshittery to avoid people being interested.

Other sites hand-wring and ban it, but the pro-doxing culture is what allows freaks and deviants to be identified and called out.

Similarly most mainstream sites are desperate to not host "extreme" content, which prevents proper investigation and sharing of knowledge.

It's all about the pro free speech and pro sharing of information ethos of this site.

my review of Joshua Connor Moon AKA Null's Manifesto

https://madattheinternet.substack.com/p/online-censorships-institutional

A person’s most valuable asset is their reputation, and there’s no better place to build one’s cachet than online. For this reason, there is a convergence of extreme wealth, power, and influence building up around the backbone of the Internet like a cancer. Without immediate organization and reaction from the atomized groups considering themselves “anti-censorship”, we will soon live in a less free world with a less open Internet where rich and influential people can dictate their own trustworthiness and slander their opposition with impunity.

In the 11 years I have managed my forum, the Kiwi Farms, I have seen firsthand the power in allowing people to talk about people. Anyone who is permitted to freely share what they’d like about another is enabled to punch far above their own weight. When a forum organized like the Kiwi Farms hosts stories, media, and documents that never go away, it can become a permanent blight on a diligently maintained reputation belonging to surprisingly important people. When that demerit is made on someone rich and well-connected, they may dedicate years of their life to trying to erase it.

Liz Fong-Jones is a transgender multi-millionaire, formerly employed by Google, but now involved in at least two San Francisco tech startups: Honeycomb and Tall Poppy.1 His résumé and portfolio has been leveraged to try and deplatform the Kiwi Farms since 2017. What started with a single email has expanded over seven years into a conspiracy targeting the most sensitive and important components of what makes up the Internet.

The story of Liz Fong-Jones trying to take down the Kiwi Farms is indicative of what will soon be done to all controversial web content if there is not coordinated effort made to make the Internet, and the companies which compose it, more neutral and accountable.

JERSH is really only personable in his small autistic circles. It comes across to me that he is heavily involved in the * chan community, internet drama and such. He is very knowledgeable and able to explain things with great detail, he has ETHOS. I agree with even his most extreme political opinions but I feel as if this document will fall on deaf ears even with the recent large scale coverage and proof to wider society that Keffals, the corporations the supported her, the media were all wrong.

An internet community has been defamed, deplatformed and legally harassed but nobody will care because doxxing & saying the N word will always be part of the culture of kiwifarms. Take warning fellow NIS'ers our time in the public space will expire some day. ISP's will blacklist us, cloudfare will make it impossible to connect through any way besides TOR

Liz Fong-Jones personally gave a presentation at Cambridge, concisely detailing his own efforts to deplatform the Kiwi Farms at every conceivable technical level. Shockingly, the most effective targets were the most important to the broader Internet, such as T1 Internet backbone company Cogent, based out of D.C., who to this day will block any of their own customers who allow the Kiwi Farms to use them.

I think even Liz Fong-Jones was surprised at how quickly the Internet backbones began censoring at his request, because it took months for him to even try. Once he realized they would do what he asked, it became his go-to strategy. Why bother with the small, conscientious companies at the bottom when you can threaten to kneecap their entire business out the gate with top-down censorship?

The following Cambridge academic paper was released, which directly follows the deplatforming efforts made against the Kiwi Farms. Interestingly, it also follows the impact on user numbers and post participation in the community using publicly available data. It accurately details how post rates slowed due to low availability. For instance, while we almost always were available on Tor, many users chose not to download special browsers to continue accessing the forum. Cambridge sees that as a win.

Never understood people like OrdinaryGaymer who gets obsessed with another person committing fraud or tricking people.

Then again there are people who will contact authorities to snitch on people for doing drugs or because they know they did something wrong and got away with it. LIke people who are fully outside a situation but just want to ruin it for another person because it is "Wrong"

Not me, if you can make 100k telling people something and get that money and use it to buy lubricant and fast food. I say go for it.

don't even get me started on that paki pedophile. I have an entire thread dedicated to it, He's also Canadian which is the worst part. And now he acts like taking the KIWIFARMS position on anything makes him cool and cancelled because he's Mr. Lolcow and hangs out with keemstar. I hope he actually does get cancelled and kills himself. Nobody on Kiwifarms likes him either.
