The problem with IA dropping the site was that no one could actually verify the claims about it while the site had been taken offline by the same campaign. It’s not a wonderful site but most of the claims the media make are easily proven false. For some reason much of the media confuses kiwi farms with 8chan and makes completely incorrect statements on it.

The emulator dev was never the subject of any kiwifarms discussion. Their letter blamed the state of mental health in America, Donald Trump, and kiwi farms. If that’s the bar for a site being pulled offline, then all social media should be.
