Kiwifarms is a forum, it doesn't itself harass anyone, it does as much as Facebook or Twitter do (they don't, their users might be). Facebook wasn't taken down when the Christchurch event was streamed there. > However, as the pressure campaign escalated, so did the rhetoric on the Kiwifarms site. Feeling attacked, users of Kiwifarms became even more aggressive. Over the last two weeks, we have proactively reached out to law enforcement in multiple jurisdictions highlighting what we believe are potential criminal acts and imminent threats to human life that were posted to the site. I don't think you've heard the other side of the story. Although not mentioned, I am pretty sure they are referring to this post https://i.imgur.com/S1z3Po2.jpg https://i.imgur.com/S1z3Po2.jpg which was taken down in under 30 minutes - as soon as the admin saw it. Making the comparison to Facebook again, the shooting stream was 36 minutes, they claim "no reports" until 12 minutes after it ended (which I doubt, 200 people were watching it live and 4000 watched it afterwards [0]) and no indication of time to reaction for a company with so much resources. There are some theories that people that wanted the forum taken down made that post; even if that is not the case, does it mean that making a threat on any platform that allows UGC (for example, HN) and takes more than 30 minutes to get it taken down means that platform has to be taken down? Again, this post is not talking about any web hosts, it's about an ISP. It's the same as if every bottling company was pressured into stopping to do business with you so you made your own bottling company. Then, your water spring was pressured into stopping to sell water to your bottling company because that bottling company sells bottled water to bad people. Springs are probably easier to find or buy though.
