Nooooot super comfortable with the kiwifarms links.

It's kind of weird to read an article warning about people who obsessively consume and produce torture content, and find out the article promotes a community that obsessively consumes and produces stalking/doxxing content.

Don't get me wrong, vigilantes are better than serial killers. But kiwifarms doesn't have a reputation for being selective in its targets. I think they're fundamentally caught in the same trap of chasing highs as the people the article describes.

It doesn't promote them, it simply points out that they're the only group trying to do something about this. The author clearly states that they aren't fans of that group but they have to acknowledge that fact. If anything this is good journalism, documenting the situation in an unbiased way.
