I saw a statement on KiA2 earlier, from Null, which was gaining sympathy from a very small number of misguided people, about the deplatforming of Kiwi Farms. It deserves a response. Kiwi Farms is paedophile, criminal, stalking, terrorist trash. It has nothing to do with free speech.
In 2015, whilst passing through law school, doing my GDL and later my LL.M LPC, I received a police warning for alleged, “harassment” of the Block Bot team (made up of transgender activists) in support of Gamergate. It was frightening to me, and if it had not been revoked, could have been damaging or stopped me finishing my studies. But it was revoked. Using my burgeoning litigation skills I extracted a formal rescindment and apology from Cambridge police. The police apology letter is still up in my article and I reproduce it below. In our society, boycott campaigns are legal. It is legal to write to someone’s employer to draw their attention to egregious wrongdoing even outside their job, or organise a boycott of said company. Free speech is a wide and important protection. If anything, KiA in recent years is too timid about boycott and advertisement cancelling campaigns. Free speech does not however, extend to Kiwi Farms and its satellites, which are forums for exchanging child pornography, defamation and cyberstalking individuals, including children, to death.
Ironically, Sarah Brown, like Keffals, is transgender. Like many, I have had to fight for my right to free speech against aggressive transgender activists. I understand how upsetting this ideology can be. Kiwi Farms and their supporters are desperate to convince the unwary that their being deplatformed is something to do with that, that it means no one can criticise transgender persons. That is a ridiculous lie. The new British Prime Minister Liz Truss, has expressed strong views and also on forcing social media companies not to deplatform Conservatives. Laws are being passed this year. Those are views she holds not just in public, but in private. As a Conservative member and blogger, I have met both candidates for leadership of the Conservative Party. Liz Truss spent a good chunk of a Christmas Party I went to last year telling us her very strongly held views on free speech and transgenderism, as well as the need to protect spaces for biological females, and the need to protect children.
That will not help Kiwi Farms. Kiwi Farms is a stalking and terrorism forum run by an avowed paedophile that does and permits things that are illegal even in 1st Amendment jurisdictions, let alone Europe or anywhere else. At no point in history has a proposition along the lines of, “Paedophiles unite for stalking! Yay!”, been legally or socially acceptable. Below, I post an exchange between Joshua Moon and Gandi.net, one of many hosting companies in many companies that deplatformed his site for hosting illegal child pornography, until he had to start his own hosting company, 1776 Hosting. Which has now had its IP addresses rescinded by the Australian government for illegal content.
Kiwi Farms is a site that alternates between claiming it is just an edgy forum, and taking votes to expressly decide to target children. It claims it is all legal, then posts nude photographs of sobbing, terrified young women (not transwomen). When Julie Terryberry killed herself after such treatment, the paedophile Dynastia decided to negatively review her vagina before forum members dumped a list of family members from her Facebook friends list to stalk and mock about the death. Screenshot below. The site is so despicably criminal that not only did VISA and MasterCard ban it – the neo-Nazis of Hatreon banned it, some saying Joshua Moon was a degenerate and the only thing his fat, paedophile carcass contributed to their movement was a belief they would need bigger ovens to eliminate obese deviants such as him.
Joshua Moon opened an email service, lolcow.email, that allowed users to register via TOR and thereby use it for murder threats and sexual perversion with impunity. He then complained when he was swatted. He had to flee to an unknown location, believe to be in Eastern Europe, to hide from law enforcement. Josh set out to exploit CWC, a vulnerable autistic individual, financially, then tried to scapegoat a female forum member when CWC was allegedly persuaded to have sex with his own mother. If she did, she was a young person who joined a forum expressly set up to stalk CWC and which did nothing but encourage her – until it was time to throw her under the bus.
Josh even hosted a board called /phile/ for vile paedophile child rape stories on his short lived image board, 16chan.
There is no situation in which child pornography is free speech. There is no situation in which organised stalking is free speech. Sending women hundreds of penis photos is neither free speech nor legal. Abducting, murdering and raping children – yes possibly in that order – is not legal. Threatening to blow up half of Dublin is not legal.
Anyone in #GamerGate who tries to defend Kiwi Farms is either a bad faith actor or does not know much about Kiwi Farms. If people say there is, “no evidence”, they are concern trolling or just not looking very hard. Check the Kiwi Farms category on this site – I have been writing about Joshua Conner Moon’s unimaginable depravity since 2016, largely evidenced with posts by Joshua Conner Moon. Defending Kiwi Farms is as damaging to GamerGate as getting a mob of people to pose outside ‘Five Guys’ wearing t-shirts marked, “Level up = raping”. Anyone stupid enough to back a paedophile, stalking, terror LARPing board deserves a Darwin award. Can we not?
