The Death of the Internet by the KiwiFarms owner (2021)

Interestingly, Joshua Moon (the main perpetrator behind KF, http://www.kiwifarmswiki.com/index.php?title=Joshua_Conner_M..., and article’s author) is not just about anti-trans harassment, he is into traditional terrorism too: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32711617

Regardless of your feelings on KiwiFarms, this is a topical article with some prescient quotes regarding their choice of relying on Cloudflare:

"Matthew Prince, the CEO of Cloudflare, is an outlier in the elite of Silicon Valley. He is the one person whose default position on censorship is "no". Cloudflare has removed two websites explicitly aligned with neo-Nazism, but ordinarily, they refuse to buckle to the mob. Why? I don't know. Maybe he's just libertarian. Maybe he wants the Internet to be free, like it used to be. Maybe he's a government informant (there's a popular conspiracy theory that Cloudflare is a large man-in-the-middle spyware operation). Even if he is, I don't care. My website is legal and there's nothing on it that's not public anyways.

Prince is just one man, however, and I have no doubt that when he retires he will be replaced by less of a man. Some political activists who endeavor to censor the Internet are simply waiting for the day he's gone. There are other DDoS mitigation services, but they're much smaller, often not as capable, and not in as strong a position to say "no". When he is out of power, it will cause a vacuum that will negatively impact the health of the Internet, and he will not be readily replaced by anything."
