  Not really. Just allusions to bad things. The actual response from the site owner showed that it was likely an agent provocateur who used a dormant account, and then posted a screenshot to twitter. The post in question was deleted by staff within minutes.

    They corrected that, apparently the person self-deleted their comment (with the note "retarded") some minutes after it was screencapped for Twitter. But yes, a 2 year old account that had never done anything but one random post posts some threatening message apparently outside someone's house, gets screencapped on Twitter and self-deletes minutes later is their story, basically.

    If service providers wanted to take down e.g. HN, such a pretext would be easy enough to create. HN would never get to that point, however, since most posts here don't piss off "protected groups". From my brief perusal in the week that I've been aware of KF, nearly every thread was intended to piss off such a group. That's a widely appealing if thankless task, so alternatives will probably be created soon enough.
