And, just like that, the internet lost one of its most staunch defenders. I don't care for KF nor did I used to care about 8chan or stormfront, but it just shows that all the grandstanding from Matthew Prince was for show all along. and the worst of all? its fro nothing, the people doing whatever they were being accused of, which i'm still trying to piece together, are just gonna be in discords or the nth-chan that shows up to host it.

Well I hope he enjoys suddenly having his huge customers from saudi arabia or whatever else start calling things worrysome and prey on that weakness.

I imagine you have never been the target of a KF abuse campaign.

    But how does blocking KF change this? It's not like the doxxers are going to stop once their favorite website goes away.

      Sure it does. If you make it more expensive (in terms of money, or time, or effort) for bad actors to be bad actors, you end up with fewer bad actors, because they'll just go do something else with their lives. That's the ethos of all security and defense. The expectation isn't perfection.
