> As the infrastructure provider for over 20% of all www traffic traversing the internet today, CloudFlare is in a position to enforce it's beliefs on a global scale. > Who interprets what qualifies as hate speech? Exactly the issue. We should not give “activists” a free pass on this one. I wonder now which one(s) of them will commit the crime of actually DDoSing KiwiFarms. We probably will never know. Vigilante “justice” is problematic because it leaves room for people to harm others without proper evidences of wrong doing. Mind you, I’m no way denying that Kiwifarms are reprehensible, but there are people out there claiming that KF is literally causing people to die, which I’m wondering where is the evidence of that? If someone is suicidal, one of the better ways to help them is to (among other things of course) make them understand that they have power over their circumstances by telling them that they are responsible for their actions. Claiming that some internet bullies can cause you to kill yourself is not helpful, nor is it true. |

Isn’t this exactly what the people are KF were doing? Only instead of trying to get a website kicked off the internet, they were trying to get people fired from their jobs, weaponizing the police, trying to drive people to suicide. And not in the service of any sort of justice, but for entertainment. That is sick and it is evil.
They should absolutely be shunned and ostracized for their antisocial behavior. Free speech means that other people have the right to show you the door if you are acting like a jerk.
