There was a comment in this thread criticizing Kiwi Farms, but it was quickly removed. I'm not here to repeat their eloquent criticism, only add my own thoughts.
> anonymous speech
Kiwi Farms users are not anonymous. They are, at best, pseudonymous. There is comment history associated with their online identities. Some use their real names, although the extent this can be verified is questionable and undoubtedly some are impersonators.
Overall, I don't buy the slippery slope arguments of RTN and EFF here.

how ironic that a site called "reclaim the net" cowers behind The Great Clownflare Firewall, which blocks any alternative browsers (like palemoon) and anyone using a proxy. so i can't even read what they have to say.

If you’re not familiar, kiwi farms is a forum for some of the worst people alive. Doxxing, swatting, and harassing people to the point of suicide - that kind of stuff.
Which is not to say they are right or wrong in the issue of copyright being used to unmask anonymity. But generally speaking: fuck these people.
