But isn't that a catch-22? If the twitter mob wasn't successful in getting KF kicked off, than KF would have been more powerful than the twitter mob?

What alternative are you suggesting, that we just roll over and let these kinds of assholes ruin lives with impunity?

"Power never takes a back step only in the face of more power."




We don't need to let either mob kick anyone off from the internet.


Okay, but how do you propose the victims of Kiwifarms protect themselves from being kicked off the internet?

And remember we’re not talking about their physical ability to connect to the internet (after all, no one has deprived Kiwifarms of that), we’re talking about their ability to access their audience and use their current identity.


What would you do if Kiwifarms came after you?


Ignore them. If they did something illegal then sue them.


Can you describe the process to sue an anonymous person in another country after they have swatted you?


Does law enforcement seriously consider tips from random internet users in some other country credible when handling domestic affairs as in swatting scenarios? Sounds like law enforcement is behind the times...
