> Harassment campaigns by Kiwi Farms users are known to have contributed to the suicides of three individuals.[9] The Kiwi Farms community considers it a goal to drive its targets to suicide, and has celebrated such deaths with a counter on the website.[11]: 55, 61 They have used social media reporting systems to mass-report posts by harassment targets in which they've expressed suicidal thoughts or intentions, with the goal of reducing the possibility their targets receive help.[11] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms#Harassment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwi_Farms#Harassment It's kind of funny that you talk about an "alleged body count" when the site literally put up an actual counter of the people whose suicide they encouraged.

Do you have source for that? The book in the Wikipedia article cites [0], [1] and [2] but i couldn't find anything related to suicide counter in them. Also I'm not exactly sure why Kiwi Farms gets _all_ the blame here. It's Facebook deleting the posts of people that need help because i guess it's against their guidelines.
