After years of harassment campaigns, the online stalker haven ofKiwi Farms was finally squeezed and the resulting sickly green, decomposing juices found their way into the sewer of the internet. After being blocked by digital security providers, the decrepit, off-smelling Kiwi farms has now flowed out into a lake full of similar refuse. The internet seems to suggest that the already decayed may not actually die.
The online forum and troll farm of the same name was known for creating hate campaigns that targeted and harassed people who drew the attention of the hate machine. Many of the site's security hosts droppedKiwi after a successful backlash campaign. Oregon Public Broadcasting confirmed late Monday that VanwaTech was taking over hosting duties after a few days of moving on and off Russian server.
The report confirmed thatKiwi was registered to VanwaTech. The service facilitates online hate. The Daily Stormer and 8kun are neo-Nazis and have been linked to white supremacists.

The back end tech support for white nationalists and the Qanon conspiracy was cited in reports from the likes of Bloomberg.
The site was transferred to a China-based hosting service, but it is now on a new service. The site is frequently going down despite the fact that it should be back online. The website Isitdownrightnow shows that the domain has been down for almost two hours. The difficulties that anyone hosting such a controversial network might find themselves under were pointed out by some users.
It doesn't mean that it won't take long before the online stalker and harassment community regroups. Feminists, journalists, and whoever else dared put themselves out there on the internet are some of the online users targeted by these hate campaigns.
The hatemongers found a target who was able to organize pushback. Streamer Clara "Keffals" Sorrenti was targeted by the alt-right portions of New Zealand because of her gender identity, and although she was forced to go into hiding to avoid actual threats to her person, she succeeded in campaigning for captcha service hCaptcha, and

After initially seeming reluctant to move against the forum, Matthew Prince wrote that after the campaign to deplatform Kiwi Farms picked up steam, they believed there was an "unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life."
