Adrift Online Cesspool Kiwi Farms Finds a New Port, but Its Struggles Are Far From Over

And though the site might be having a difficult time in this transient period, that doesn’t necessarily mean it won’t take long before the online stalker and harassment community regroups. Online users that these hate campaigns targeted include feminists, journalists, internet personalities, and whomever else dared put themselves out there on the internet.

Last month, the hate mongers found a target who finally managed to successfully organize pushback. Streamer Clara “Keffals” Sorrenti was targeted by the alt-right portions of Kiwi because of the fact she is transgender, and although she was forced to go into hiding to avoid actual threats to her person, she successfully campaigned for Cloudflare and captcha service hCaptcha to drop the site.

Other sites, like the Internet Archive—home of the Wayback Machine—also reportedly followed suit.

After initially seeming reluctant to move against the forum, Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince wrote that after the campaign to deplatform Kiwi Farms picked up steam “targeted threats have escalated over the last 48 hours to the point that we believe there is an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life.”
