It's a forum dedicated pretty much entirely to doxxing, swatting, stalking and harrassment. It's also where the Christchurch New Zealand mass shooter's live stream and manifesto were hosted.

Doxxing, yes. But any discussion about harassing people will get you banned.

swatting, stalking and harassment are banned on the site and always have been (look, don't touch) and there is not a single bit of evidence that the mass shooter you speak of even knew KF existed. You're thinking about mainstream social media.. That's where he streamed the shooting from.

Why do you say the forum itself is "dedicated" to those things?

How "hosting" someone posted makes them responsible considering section 230 and the 1st A?

  • "It should be noted that no ethically-trained software engineer would ever consent to write a DestroyBaghdad procedure. Basic professional ethics would instead require him to write a DestroyCity procedure, to which Baghdad could be given as a parameter."

It's obviously not the only place they was hosted, or the place they were originally posted (I think the manifesto originated from 4chan and the stream would have been Twitch or YT or some other live-streaming platform - no idea which).
