"The criminals are removing the Captcha guards
The criminals are removing the DDOS guards"
"Criminals" aren't "removing" anything.
Your reporting on KF is very selective.
Did you miss the posts evidencing direct links between the current champion of internet censorship and a serial doxer, swatter and instigator of multiple vexatious law suits who has been trying to persuade someone, anyone, to piggyback off his black-hat hacking expertise to take down KF for at least two years?
The evidence of that gentleman's collaboration with another fine upstanding citizen who has served a long stretch in the USA for domestic terrorism?
The evidence of their involvement in previous campaigns to terrorise and ruin the lives of politicians on both sides of the aisle in the USA, also targeting their wives and children, innocent bystanders in their workplaces and journalists who dared to report on their activities? How they drove people to attempt to kill themselves and then taunted them? How they brag that they have been protected from the expected consequences of their psychopathic rampage by the FBI?
I sincerely hope that Jesse Singal reads those posts because, if history repeats itself, then he and Katie Hertzog will be next in the firing line.
Just a reminder that:
- the stalking and doxing in Northern Ireland, attributed to KW, was posted on a different site altogether, by a minor who Keffals has been communicating with since 1 Sept
- the "death threats" posted on KF were the work of people operating "sleeper accounts" that had been dormant since they were created over two years ago
- those posts were immediately screenshot and posted on Twitter before being promptly deleted (sound familiar?)
- all the "suicides" attributed to harassment by KF can much more reasonably be attributed to the actions of others, including evidence in one case of "last words" directly blaming individuals prominent in the "trans community", not all were trans, and there is plausible evidence that one is a hoax and the "victim" is still alive
Whatever anyone thinks about KF there is mounting evidence that this was not just a set-up but also that Keffals is a puppet and that others are pulling the strings.
As others have mentioned, KF is NOT dedicated to posts about trans people. That characterisation is as misleading as that of Mumsnet consisting of nothing more than the FWR "Sex & Gender" Board.
However, as far as I am aware, Mumsnet does not archive a treasure trove of dirt on US politicians, journalists and their acolytes, so is less likely to be infiltrated by agent provocateurs and "fed posters" linked to the FBI.
Is it really plausible that internet companies right across the world (Canada, Iceland, China, Portugal, Russia, etc.) who claim to be free speech absolutists have quickly buckled to pressure from a handful of transactivists and a swarm of anonymous anime characters on Twitter, on the basis of unsupported or dubious allegations?
(It is also more plausible that the Internet Archive deleted - or removed from Search - all KF archives at the request of doxer Taylor Lorenze, who has a thread on KF and whose uncle has a key position with the company.)
It is as if the mass censorship of mainstream media and Big Tech during Covid, on the instructions of government bodies and supra-governmental bodies (the WHO), has receded from collective consciousness.
Seriously, how can anyone believe that so much effort is being put into erasing KF and its archives from the internet purely on the say-so of someone who was previously notorious, and then only to those in the know, as a producer of "fart porn"?
Oh! And involvement in the distribution of home-made hormones to minors, along with recipes and instructions.
This is the equivalent of "pushers" hanging around the school gates. Small fry at the bottom of a food chain. At the top - drug cartels with incomes greater than some nation states.
Who might benefit from protecting the "pushers" of puberty blockers to kids? Who has enormous reach and influence with the US media and politicians?
Jennifer Bilek, and others, have documented, for instance, the role of the Pritzker family in funding and supporting the rise of Obama from his early days as an unknown in Chicago. Just with that one example there is the link between the medico-pharmaceutical industry, US politics and the considerable financial donations of the fragrant Jennifer Pritzker and the rest of the family.
That reminds me - Rachel Levine - US Government Assistant Secretary for Health (FFS!)
Yeah, tell me again how a purveyor of "fart porn", a dox on a different website by a dopey teenager (who has followed up with nothing more sinister than some childish trans-taunting song-videos) and a couple of planted and extremely unbelievable "death threats" are responsible for a watershed moment in internet freedom vs censorship, the attempted memory-holing of embarrassing information about US politicians and journalists and the protection of a nascent cottage industry intent on getting kids on a conveyor belt to lucrative, life-time medicalisation and surgery.
