Kiwi Farms is an immensely creepy stalking forum run by manchild Joshua Conner Moon out of his mom’s house (no, literally). The people who are stalked are what are known as “lolcows” to the site’s userbase or “exceptional individuals.”

Due to difficulties with enforcing anti-harmful speech legislation on the internet, there hasn’t been much legal action taken on Kiwi Farms, despite them being responsible for harming many people (directly and indirectly), costing them jobs and partners, exaggerating and spinning rumors, or even mentally abusing their victims to the point of suicide. In fact, the owners maintain that there is nothing illegal about the site, citing technicalities (i.e. “we don’t harass people; our users do!”) and phonebooks also distributing personal information (because “sharing the address of this person we find weird is totally the same as a printed 411!”).

Not exactly. He is on trial after videos have been revealed showing him calling for upping the Islamic terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, and calling on the audience to kill their MP.

Considering in the last five years, two MPs: Jo Cox and David Amess have both been murdered on the job it is not at all surprising he has found himself on trial.

You should see the Gab echo chamber, it’s absolutely horrifying.

People in the tech community who care about their privacy need to understand that if a product is not open source it should NOT be trusted. Transparency is a necessary factor in guaranteeing privacy, otherwise we cannot see and prove if a person or company’s claim to privacy is true.
