Abuse complaints received:
kiwifarms.net purports to 'investigate' pedophiles. A whistleblower tells me that they are so enthusiastic about this that they have posted actual child pornography on their site with Digital Ocean here - https://kiwifarms.net/threads/8chans-pedo-communities.15890/ - although for obvious legal reasons I have not viewed the thread. The person who posted it is allegedly a member of site staff.
When they were previously terminated by Linode they claimed it was planted - then apparently uploaded the same thread to Gandi.net who also terminated them. They also often link to (for example) bestiality on the basis of 'investigation'. Here is another example -https://kiwifarms.net/threads/sprin...-sadist-and-her-brainwashed-child-bride.8293/
Kiwifarms - https://kiwifarms.net - Individual Targets
A few example threads. Firstly, might be worth looking at the home page - http://kiwifarms.net (archive https://archive.md/4DdZm). Their mission is explained towards the bottom.
They have a Twitter account - https://twitter.com/Kiwifarms (archive https://archive.md/jYp5p). They describe themselves as - "Gossip and exploitation of the mentally handicapped for amusement purposes"
