New York (CNN)Cloudflare, a major American internet services company, pulled its support for Kiwi Farms, a controversial online message board, Saturday evening citing "imminent threats to human life." The move temporarily forced Kiwi Farms offline. Cloudflare's decision came as Kiwi Farms was linked to a campaign of harassment and violent threats targeting Clara Sorrenti, a Canadian trans woman who is a streamer on Twitch, a platform popular among video gamers. Sorrenti, better known by her online name "Keffals," launched a campaign calling on Cloudflare to stop providing services to the site. Fearing for her safety after her personal details were posted online, Sorrenti said she left her home in Canada in recent weeks and traveled to Belfast, Northern Ireland, to stay with a friend. However, she says, the online harassers were able to track her down there. Police in Northern Ireland are investigating threats made against her there, The Sunday Times reported. Cloudflare's decision comes amid an ongoing debate about what major internet companies and platforms should do about online hate and harassment campaigns that are organized with the support of their services. Matthew Prince, the CEO of Cloudflare, has long expressed discomfort about his company's potential role of deciding what can and cannot be online.

This ‘Keffels’ man has been involved with sending homemade hormones to minors and worse. But now he’s lifted up as a hero of the left.
I don't see how any website focused on doxxing/harassing specific individuals can operate in the US. Is there an equivalent left wing website targeting conservatives?
There’s literal CP all over twitter, and they cancel/dox just as much.
And also, any site can have kooky members. The site itself didn’t support this stuff and banned blatant threats. Posting public info about people is a crime now?
Sure are a lot of she and her in article about a man with a mental illness.
If this stuff doesn't stop, a small twitter brigade could easily deplatform FR or anything they want now.
Welcome to Free Republic.
Lucas is a lunatic.
It sounds like the Russia site couldn’t handle the DDOS attacks and dropped them for that not for content reasons.
Meanwhile there’s active child porn on twitter and they’re allowed to keep operating.

Shouldn’t this apply to the Democrat party with their fascist end of the world rhetoric?
He’s already made over $100 grand from donations. He’s going to end up incredibly rich from this.
Did you just crawl out of a hole after 20 years Rip Van Winkle. How about CNN and the NYT? Good lord. Are you smart enough to feed yourself?
Go on, ask her.
Cloudflare is nothing but a CDN - Content Delivery System and DDoS protection service. It packs up your dynamic website into static pages and serves them. All it does is make a website faster and prevent the DDoS thing.
There are other ways to do it. Why do people keep using these services? Cloudflare also shut down Parler. Amazon Web Services was first but everyone else piled on.
Are you making a threat?
The opposite, I’m warning of one that might come from these types that seem to run the internet right now.
