Drop Kiwi Farms
DDOS Protection - #DropKiwifarms
people online are actively attempting to dox my phone number and home address. i had to wake up my mom at 5 am to get her to deactivate her social media accounts because they found it and it had the information they could use to dox both of us

i'm okay and my family is safe. shoutout to my twitch mod team for helping me manage the fallout of making some of the worst people on the internet mad at me. these people can't stand seeing trans people gain a platform and succeed. it drives them insane. i'm not letting them win

This targeted doxxing and harassment is being organized by kiwi farms which has already had multiple suicides linked to their harassment campaigns. Despite this body count, cloudflare continues to host them on their hosting service. https://t.co/cCqe8Vba4Q

Kiwifarms(.)net, a hate site linked to the Christchurch shooting and the suicides of 3 people, including a trans and nb person, has now started targeting and doxxing trans twitch streamer keffals. Despite this, @Cloudflare continues to host this site with no accountability.

This site solely exists for the purpose of doxxing and harassing people. Kiwifarms is run by Joshua "Null" Moon who is personally participating in the doxxing campaign. pic.twitter.com/1vWLing0EJ

Kiwifarms was responsible for the hate campaign that resulted in the suicide of beloved emulator developer, Near, last year. pic.twitter.com/8926O7gWPW

Kiwifarms also went after game developer Chloe Sagal in 2018 and Julie Terryberry in 2016. The notable connection is that their targets are almost always women and queer. pic.twitter.com/6aWd2xZCDs
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) March 27, 2022
Kiwifarms is also linked to the 2019 Christchurch white supremacist terror attack. The shooter regularly posted on the site and did so right before the attack. The site subsequently hosted images and videos from the attack resulting in its blocking in New Zealand. pic.twitter.com/lLVzsqyS1d
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) March 27, 2022
Despite all of this, @Cloudflare continues to provide services to kiwifarms. At this point, cloudflare is complicit in hate campaigns and has blood on its hands for enabling this site. It's only a matter of time before kiwifarms doxxing campaigns gets someone else killed. pic.twitter.com/UVWdcd4Oe2
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) March 27, 2022
Despite cloudflare's insistence on being free speech absolutists even when it directly gets people killed, please report the abuse to cloudflare. https://t.co/HZ9odRmkxO
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) March 27, 2022
Warning: do not use personally identifying info to report kiwifarms to cloudflare. They will forward the info to kiwifarms registrar.

Find the domain registrar and contact them. All details about the person that registered the domain will most likely be blacklisted fro purchasing any more domains.
They use cloudflare to shield their domain and to prevent DDOS attacks. Cloudflare is protecting these incels.

Kiwi Farms is experiencing a bit of difficulty staying online due to a court order against their upstream server host. Could still be an elaborate April Fool's joke but taking down the site would be extreme for a joke. If true, I'm here for the schadenfreude. pic.twitter.com/wwrYk7KTs2

Okay, #TimesUpCloudflare. Take substantive steps towards fixing this by Monday, or I _will_ thoroughly and utterly expose @cloudflare's knowing complicity in multiple incidents of stochastic terrorism directed at transgender people and Muslim people dating back 7 years to 2015.

Part 3: how to apply pressure by migrating workloads & ending contracts.#TimesUpCloudflare @keffals
Now imagine having to do that because they were doxed and swatted by kiwifarms who uses cloudflare to maintain uptime.

And on Wednesday, also at 6pm, we'll cover how #CloudflareProtectsTerrorists and has mishandled abuse reports.
No word from @Cloudflare. 6pm Wednesday (in 24 hours), I'll unpack the libertarian, "arm everyone equally" cruelty of lack of action against Kiwifarms, and exacerbated harm from forwarding complaints to them. https://t.co/WeEXTypEZL#CloudflareProtectsTerrorists #DropKiwifarms

Going live in under 2 hours at 6pm Pacific. In Part 1 we covered the harms and why @Cloudflare should #DropKiwifarms, but in Part 2 we'll talk about Cloudflare's negligent indifference towards transgender people and how #CloudflareProtectsTerrorists. https://t.co/WeEXTyqcPj

Awfully rich for @Cloudflare to claim on LinkedIn that they "keep employees safe and productive". https://t.co/Anl2lCFEwg

No progress today, just more crisis comms. So, we proceed to part 3: how to migrate your services off and boycott @Cloudflare. How to write a letter to your boss or to your board on why Cloudflare is unacceptable supplier risk. Tomorrow 6pm Pacific. https://t.co/WeEXTyqcPj

Hi @dashconio, I see that you're hosting @Cloudflare for this event. Your Code of Conduct for the event does not allow harassment for 'technology choices'.

Are explicitly pro-harassment technology choices protected by your policy?#DropKiwiFarms#CloudflareProtectsTerrorists https://t.co/LvzldkrD8I
Cloudflare launched nearly twelve years ago. Over that time, our set of services has become much more complicated. With that complexity we have developed policies around how we handle abuse of different features Cloudflare provides https://t.co/dxJw0yg6MA
— Cloudflare (@Cloudflare) August 31, 2022
Hey @Cloudflare, are you paying for a private security guard for @keffals given the recent attempt on her life directly caused by one of the sites you proudly support?
— Liz Fong-Jones (方禮真) (@lizthegrey) August 31, 2022
Or are you all talk, and no money when it comes to compensating for providing free service to hate sites?
Cloudflare wants dead trans people. This is their legacy by working with Kiwi Farms. They are knowingly complicit in the cyberstalking, harassment, and threatening of trans people to the point of suicide. They offer the protections that enable this to happen. pic.twitter.com/HgPi1IMRym
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
Cloudflare isn't a fire dept preventing the fires in the homes of people, they are the paid bodyguard of criminal enterprises protecting them from any consequences for their actions. The deflection to legislation and legal orders is absolute bullshit. pic.twitter.com/RXp1vUq607
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
How is any trans person who finds themselves subjected to this kind of cyberstalking and harassment, to the point of fleeing a country supposed to pass federal legislation? They deflect once again to "protecting vulnerable groups." This is sociopathic.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
They claim to care about vulnerable groups but then host the services that target sex workers, trans people, people with disabilities, etc. They are taking a cowardly approach. Once again, sacrificing marginalized people at the altar of slippery slopes.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
It's a ultra rich white man, Matthew Prince, who is shielding his sociopathic stance with supposed concern for marginalized groups. Meanwhile, those same groups are pleading for him to do something. He doesn't care, because this is what he wants.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
Cloudflare would rather stay in business with a company formerly called "Final Solutions LLC" than admit that there is a serious problem with some of the people they provide services for.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
This was the same company that provided services to ISIS. They support terrorism.
The most sickening part about Cloudflare's statement is how they hide behind donations to the Trevor Project, an LGBTQ suicide hotline. They are complicit in causing the suicides of trans people by enabling doxing, cyberstalking, harassment, and swatting. pic.twitter.com/IxJujcLALd
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
This is what Cloudflare is enabling. Clara was doxed in Northern Ireland and the users of Kiwi Farms attempted to swat her once again. https://t.co/eWjO6fSS0h
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
Heard from a former Cloudflare employee that the customer that they did an "offset" donation to LGBTQ orgs for was "GODHATESFAGS[.]COM" which is run by the Westboro Baptist Church. They continue to support this site. They had no ERG in June 2017. They lied in their blog. pic.twitter.com/VqUqhELVQA
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
Additionally, the WBC was a customer with Cloudflare long before 2017 and they were provided service as far back as 2014. The ERG was not formed until 2018. Cloudflare management bragged about this "offset" donation all the time.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) August 31, 2022
Cloudflare has lost nearly $3 billion in market cap in the last week since Clara's campaign to #DropKiwifarms started. Hate doesn't sell and large corporate customers are beginning to question they relationship with cloudflare and leave. pic.twitter.com/sbXlbLqGjr

We just blocked Kiwifarms. The threats on the site escalated enough in the last 48 hours that, in spite of proactively working with law enforcement, it became enough of an imminent emergency we could no longer wait for them to act. Details of our decision: https://t.co/xNnSXn65R6

I have a statutory obligation to ensure that anyone who comes for the event originally scheduled for 9am 08 Sep 2022 in Hyde Park behaves in an orderly fashion. So, I will still be there, but celebrating instead of protesting.

There is still work to do in Australia. KiwiFarms still has an APNIC block assigned through Flow Chemical Pty Ltd and I will be lobbying eSafety Australia and Parliament about the issue of rogue ISPs and sites being run from Australian netblocks with shell corporations.

Update on Kiwi Farms. They have a new clearnet domain registered with VanwaTech, LLC. A company that explicitly works with white supremacist sites like Daily Stormer and 8kun. However, Vanwatech's entire CDN has gone down, likely due to a massive DDoS. pic.twitter.com/f0d29CnFyH
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) September 6, 2022
VanwaTech going down has taken several other vile hatesites with it. Just like DDoS Guard, VanwaTech will quickly realize that they do not have the scale to accomodate the heat KF is bringing to their services and will drop them due to the disruption to other customers.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) September 6, 2022
The original Kiwifarms domain has been moved from Cloudflare over to EPIK, another notorious provider that hosts white supremacist sites and was epicly pwnd last year. It's likely that the original domain will go back up sometime soon after the migration. pic.twitter.com/kSPT7oaspF
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) September 6, 2022
Given the fact that neither DDoS Guard nor VanwaTech could handle the massive DDoS against them, it's highly likely that Epik will suffer the same fate. Whoever is doing this is unleashing a massive DDoS campaign against all the CDNs that work with Kiwi Farms.
— Alejandra Caraballo (@Esqueer_) September 6, 2022
