That was not my definition. Kiwi Farms will post their target's private info, the private info of everyone their target knows, send death threats to their target and their family, report false crimes to try and get SWAT teams to kill their target, etc. Ben Shapiro doesn't seem like a good person and I suspect he is probably sympathetic to many terrorists, but he is not himself a terrorist as far as I know.

What's your source on the SWAT-ing + death threats originating from Kiwi Farms? My understanding of that website is that it is moderated based on the philosophy of "look, don't touch". Your statement runs contrary to this...

  They are the top suspects in the swatting of the Twitch streamer Keffals and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene just in the past month. There have been many news articles about it — I would suggest Googling and picking the source that seems most credible to you, since I've found linking specific sources tends to lead to people debating the source itself. (I'll be honest, I'm skeptical on the MTG one, but they are still the top suspects there.)

    I think expunging a website from the internet for "suspected" involvement in crime is a huge overreach. I think such a posture would encourage some to commit "false flag" SWAT-ing as a means to silence those they disagree with. SWAT-ing is a very serious crime, and if they are "top suspects" as you claim, I expect LE would be robustly investigating them. Thoughts?

    I read about the Marjorie Taylor Green incident. The swatter apparently claimed to be a specific moderator from the website (by username, not actual name), while commiting a serious felony against a prominent politician... If anything, it looks like a two-for-one swatting, getting the moderator and the site a visit from the feds in addition to Marjorie Taylor Green.

  The fact that they post dox (names, addresses, other personally identifying information) makes that a pretty weak defense in my mind. If you write up this long post about how someone is a terrible human being and include their PII right next to it, what happens next isn't exactly hard to guess. And these people are not stupid, they know what will happen next even if they don't actually ever harass the person. I wouldn't have a problem with them discussing other people among themselves, but including addresses and phone numbers and such is such a bad faith "I'm not touching you I'm not touching you ha ha ha" that I wouldn't mind seeing them burned down on principle.

So you don't sympathize with a single "terrorist" on the planet? Don't lie.
