He's been taken to court around 7 times. It's almost as if he didn't break the law, and people just think he must of because it be so nasty!

This is the same argument made by anti-free speech people defending companies that censor/deplatform.
Something can be legal and wrong. Sometimes the law is out of date with reality.
I don't want that to be a quasi-unilateral judgement.
Also, one question. Suppose we do change the laws, and Kiwi Farms continues to operate within those new laws. Will that be enough, do you think? Because the US would have to outlaw dead naming and misgendering for it to be enough for the activists.
Privacy protections should apply regardless of whether it's a megacorporation or a disorganized group of independent actors.
Most of the individuals targeted by Kiwifarms are not running for office, or own prominent businesses. They are for the most part unemployed nobodies who live at home. I don't see any public interest in naming these people.
