The problem is the site got named in a swatting attack on a GOP House member.
That ups the stakes a bit and probably made providing a DDOS service for kiwifarms problematic.
- _vvaw 4y agoIt got named because the alleged attacker called the police and said "it was me, Kiwi Farms user so-and-so." The user in question denied making this call and claimed they had been impersonated. This happened in the midst of the pressure campaign on Cloudflare, to a GOP House member known for jumping the gun who had no prior history with Kiwi Farms. If that's not extremely suspect I don't know what is.
- tibbydudeza 4y agoAgreed it was just unrelated but it made news headlines then old history about keffals , them not helping the police with the Auckland shooter so they became "the baddies". It simply made Cloudflare's position untenable - they are not piratebay but need customers.
