Blocking Kiwifarms
Cloudflare has blocked access to Kiwifarms due to escalating threats and an immediate danger to human life. Although this decision is unusual for Cloudflare, the company felt compelled to act given the severity of the situation. The pressure campaign against Kiwifarms had intensified over the last two weeks, leading to more aggressive rhetoric on the site. Despite taking action, Cloudflare acknowledges that it may only exacerbate the problem and calls for a mechanism to address emergency threats to human life in collaboration with legal authorities.
