- dmix 4y ago+1, what was the thing that changed today vs a week ago? If this is going to eventually become precedent (despite what is said this is now the new basis from which other decisions are made) other site owners and future one’s should have an idea of what exactly wasn’t dealt with. Cloudflare’s reach is extensive and becoming a critical part the internet so there’s plenty at stake here. The lack of transparency by Google, Facebook, etc is the worst part of this whole top-level internet moderation trend.

- _vvaw 4y agoNeither of those incidents took place in the last 48 hours, or have been definitively attributed to Kiwi Farms.
- dmix 4y agoAugust 5 was a month ago and the MTG SWATing was obviously an anti-Kiwifarms troll… > Officials said they received a second call from the suspect, using a computer-generated voice, saying they were upset about Greene’s view on transgender youth rights. https://myfox8.com/news/crime/what-is-kiwifarms/ https://myfox8.com/news/crime/what-is-kiwifarms/

- _vvaw 4y agoKiwi Farms is back on an alternate domain. Posters in the Keffals thread believe the fake bomb threat was to blame for Cloudflare’s reaction. The account which made the post barely had any other activity on the site. The post itself was removed quickly by moderators. If it’s true that an obvious fake bomb threat which was swiftly removed was the cause for this action, Cloudflare has some hard explaining to do to its remaining customers. Fake anonymous posts and an ideological Twitter mob can apparently DoS your entire operation with Cloudflare. If the threat was something else, I and other customers would love to learn exactly what it was.
- bombcar 4y agoIF the above is true, it sounds more like a convenient excuse to do what you’ve wanted to do all along.
- unraveller 4y agoThe bomb threat could have originated from a disgruntled cloudflare employee on cloudflare network/hardware, I wonder then if they'd take themselves down? Probably not, different strokes for different folks.
