I don't think it's worth popularizing such concepts and patents. I've seen plenty of them in the past 2 years and non have reached production and promised value that outperforms solar panels. Furthermore, there is research do

Ah, guess I missed that. It's still sadly vague, same as how most other companies choose to write their terms/AUP.

My "beef" is with companies that are not directly hosting the legal user generated content on KiwiFarms - that's the case with Zayo as an upstream ISP and Cloudflare as a reverse proxy. Harassment, if any, can't happen o

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

That's not the case. There are a lot of hosting providers and reverse proxies that will gladly host malware and their upstream ISPs (which this thread is about, not hosting) will not block them. But what happens instead is they (either

Using your analogy with malware and spam, the users that do not want to read kiwifarms can choose not to by.. just not reading it. Or blocking it in their firewall or browser. Seems like it's a bad analogy.

Although I am not a fan of cloudflare, cloudflare doesn't just block you. It's up to the administrator to choose what action he applies to what type of user. https://developers.cloudflare.com/firewall/cf-firew

I've seen people make the argument "free speech does not mean free from consequences". This seems to be the same case here. Free speech does not mean free from the consequence of "doxxing"

Today it's this, tomorrow it's something else. Not CP or DDoS-for-hire though, Cloudflare will happily protect those forums and services.

This would have been more interesting if not for the constant mention of Russia/Kremlin/Putin every 30 seconds. Makes it unwatchable for me.
