[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Cloudflare bent the knee and deplatformed Kiwifarms from the internet *OP UPDATE* It's over (Page 3 of 5)
|
I hope non corporate controlled news sites, forums, but especially gun manufacturers and online retailers understand that this isn’t a threat that can just be hand waved away, you’re not going to be able to moderate content more strictly or just post some bullshit NBC hit piece and say “It can’t happen to us.” Their goal is complete removal. They’re working to get the internet archives scrubbed too, that’s how extreme this is. Unless major pushback resulting in structural reform and trust-busting, or an enormous effort to build parallel internet infrastructure takes place, this will only continue, but now much more rapidly. They’re already pressuring companies to drop so called terf aligned sites as we speak, but expect this same treatment to start against dissident economic sites like Zerohedge and Naked Capitalism soon. |

I'm fairly certain the Internet Archive is compromised. I don't have the screenshots to prove it, but they've had things go missing for about a decade. |

Everyone screams "FALSE FLAG" now, but this business with Keffals is very, very suspicious. Specific death threats are legally actionable, and so it is interesting that they would take such risk; to wit, it is exceptionally likely either Keffals or an associate of Keffals used a dormant account to make the threat. It was so, so obviously bullshit. Really, terrorists blowing up sections of Belfast to bump off some Twitter loser? It would not surprise me if it was the same actor that threatened MTG. The truth will out. These people now have the problem of not having an enemy, and being high on their power. This does not typically end well, because they need somebody to pick on. |

This has definitely been an interesting scenario to watch unfold. Free speech advocates, "free speech" advocates, infosec Twitter, Russia and all sorts of groups |

Go watch the RazortFist episode on Blaine Pardoe and the tranny that got him seperated from the company responsible for MechWarrior/BattleTech books. The trans 2+2=5 assholes are throughly unhinged. Watched the most recent "Year of the Chud" Mister Merokur August wrap up just a few days back as he was going over this issue with the KiwiFarms and tranny asshats. At this point the mentally ill trannys are fanning the flames of the destruction modern life. Buncha goddamn useful idiots. |

Quoted: Not anymore. Russia abandoned them now too today, and the forum owner basically conceded defeat a few hours ago. He didn't say it was over, but he did lay out why it was no longer tenable to continue. Yep. Most people here are ambivalent about it, but this will be used more and more by the left. The cloudflare statement was hilariously tone deaf, stating they dont like to bend the knee because it just emboldens the mob, but they'll do it this one time (for an obvious bad actor sleeper account that had been inactive and had nearly zero posts but leaped into action to fedpost just in time for cloudflare to notice... oh, and for several mostly videogamer and tranny journalists to post articles about it contemporaneously) The whole thing is and was a next level gayop. Most of the content there IMO wasnt particularly interesting but the dedication to free speech and freedom of information at considerable personal cost to the operator was something else. He'll probably get it back up in some capacity soon- but trannies will go back to spending their allowance on DDOS campaigns, and cloudflare essentially held a monopoly in that sector. That said, three times now they've dumped "extremist" sites- 8chan being spammed with child porn now by the same sort of bad actors to make it similarly unusable- they'll start moving the target on "extremist" sooner rather than later. |

When you get the yellow journalist brigade coordinating articles, you know something odd is going down. There's money to be made by making these stories. |

Quoted: When you get the yellow journalist brigade coordinating articles, you know something odd is going down. There's money to be made by making these stories. One of their longest outages, and according to the owner the most incredibly complex and wide ranging, attacks they suffered were in the wake of the Chris Chan mother-raping fiasco, but namely they came as soon as the affairs focused on a very creepy girl named Isabella Janke. Who just happened to have a father who is a fed and also a founding member of DataTribe, a big investment firm focusing on cybersecurity. Doesn't take much to put two and two together. And Janke's internet presence once discovered made her out to be a total fucking psycho. For those really detached, she essentially talked a very internet famous man (Christian Chandler) who is extremely autistic and stupid and famous because of that, into raping his own mother. |

Quoted: Arfcom will be on their radar eventually. Count on it. Of course. Just let some shooter buy a part off the EE or let it be found out that they have or had an account here. It doesn't even have to be true. Hell, we have a member here serving prison time for going to the 1/6 events. Aside from the contingent of total faggots who have essentially been celebrating his incarceration, plenty would love to tie that into tarring an entire site. |
|
Quoted: Russia as a free speech outlet.... I'm thinking this is clever irony? Quoted: Quoted: Russia shut them down? Damn Russia as a free speech outlet.... I'm thinking this is clever irony? Russia seemed like a bit of a desperation play. But them following along when they clearly don't give a fuck about world opinion is interesting. |

Quoted: This nation should be shutting down the mental illness that is transvestism, not enabling it. Quoted: Quoted: This is what happens when you don’t let troons castrate children anonymously for the vicarious thrill of it on the internet.  This nation should be shutting down the mental illness that is transvestism, not enabling it. I got bad news for you Mr. Cherokee. This nation is insane. |
|
Quoted: Cloudflare has now set a precedent. They will now be required to police content hosted through their service. They can no longer claim common carrier protections. They've shot themselves in the heart. I thought cloudfare hosts this site. Reason i think this is because it was about 3 weeks ago and i could not pull up Arfcom. Page said something, something about Cloudfare. This happened twice in a row. |

Quoted: Russia seemed like a bit of a desperation play. But them following along when they clearly don't give a fuck about world opinion is interesting. Hard to reconcile with them arresting people for pretending to hold signs, Pootie having his homie defenestrated , and Tatu not being named heroes of Russia |

In addition, at least with 8chan it could be somewhat rationalized due to having 3 closely timed mass shooters. There’s no evidence of Kiwifarms being associated with any acts of violence, zero. Their only sins were organizing too much embarrassing (but factual) info on some prominent people, and allowing gamer language. It’s literally a larger scale, less politically correct version of a site like TMZ. That’s what should frighten everyone, if they can successfully slander a site with a membership that was at least half left wing, with a very large and vocal female contingent, as a bunch of incel nazi terrorists than they can do it to anyone. |

Quoted: What would it really take to set up their own server connected directly to the internet to prevent anyone deplatforming them, or us? You have people on the dark web selling everything, and no one seems to be able to stop them. How are they doing it? Political top cover. |

This happened twice in a row. I'm only going to post this because I think I may have part of it incorrect and someone will be along shortly to correct me. Cloudflare does not "host" the site. They provide protection against DDOS attacks. There are very few vendors who do this. Kiwifarms attempted to use an alternative, and that alternate is bailing on them. Is that correct? |

Null has essentially made a tactical withdrawal, I don't know how planned it is, but it would not surprise me if someone has had a word and he's decided to think about what to do. It is very difficult to fight people for whom objective truth is another universe, because every problem can be solved with a bigger and better lie. I don't know a huge amount about KF, when I perused it reminded me of some parts of SomethingAwful back in the day, in that they were just staying inside the lines of the law, but flirting with shady practices - you'll need to sell me on the reason anyone would publish a private individual's address - but ultimately there was little evidence of the hysterical nazi machine it's made out to be. C'est la vie. What I don't understand is how it is different this time; they've been in so much controversy before but how did this one twitter-famous person manage to do so much damage? And, mark my words, it won't stop here. They'll go after something else. Like night follows day with these people. |

Quoted: What would it really take to set up their own server connected directly to the internet to prevent anyone deplatforming them, or us? You have people on the dark web selling everything, and no one seems to be able to stop them. How are they doing it? Money and lots of it. Each little link in the chain also requires partners that have to be willing to work with you. Money usually helps here as well. Also professionals who want to work for you. This also requires money. One of the big failures of "free speech" platforms is they don't attract top talent so they are susceptible to attack |

Planned escalation of censorship The plan, as stated by thr democrats favorite thinktank, is to move the internet away from free speech and into a "curated experience". On top of all that they want to start cultural transformation modeled after how they cucked and neutered the German people after ww2. |
|
Quoted: Is there really no way to make a forum proof against this kind of bullying/attack? We've been living under this threat for years. Serious question: What is ar15.com's plan to deal with this kind of threat? eta: Rhetorical, don't answer publicly in case it is technical and to reveal it would endanger it. If only there was somebody who had hosting conservative sites and other IT services as part of his business plan ..... 
|
|
Quoted: The undesirables ot this nation will not be allowed a platform to organize and present threats to our nations soul or precious democracy. When this site is deplatformed another moderator elsewhere will be posting the propaganda prices calling for it and promptly blame the site for its shenanigans. Yep. |
|
Quoted: Isn't Keffalls a person that mails drugs to children? Quoted: Isn't Keffalls a person that mails drugs to children? Quoted: Yes, or is complicit in it, I don't remember which. I can't post the facts and evidence because it was on Kiwifarms. Most people think that was the main reason he attacked the website, besides using it as a gofundme opportunity (He raised over $100,000 and is currently using that money to go on a vacation in Ireland). He very well may have been doing illegal shit and wants that evidence buried. Quoted: I thought she was coordinating having kids travel to no parental consent states to get hormone blockers, HRT and surgeries. It’s worse than sex trafficking by a factor of a billion and yet it’s defended. Gosh the NBC article left these parts out for some reason. |
|
Quoted: there's no such thing Quoted: Quoted: What would it really take to set up their own server connected directly to the internet to prevent anyone deplatforming them, or us? there's no such thing Are you sure? On this site I though we were basically renting space on someone else's data center. Couldn't we have our own physical server with data center? An actual physical server instead of renting space. |

An actual physical server instead of renting space. That still doesn't protect you from angry trannies hiring botnets to ddos you into oblivion because you told them that they would never be a woman. Cloudflare doesn't own the site or their equipment or anything. |
