@xianc78 @PhenomX6 Could you guys give more input regarding the events around Kiwifarms (and Cuckflare in this case too) last night?
I think you guys know more about this topic than I do, and it might be helpful in case GNU Social JP wants to make an article about that.

@ryo @xianc78 @gnusocialjp https://social.handholding.io/objects/35f18493-ad7e-4a05-880a-675c3f913160 this became a mega thread with my posts and posts from others on some of the intricate details of it.
@ryo @gnusocialjp @xianc78 on a more contextual note at why this is blowing up the way it is from the free speech side, here's an article by a man convicted of running the world's largest DDoS empire and telling the world that cloudflare was his best friend. He then ends the post by saying that they might as well also stop protecting booters/DDoS for hire botnets if they really give a shit about making the internet better.

An old Krebs on security article from 2015 when the DDoS epidemic was really in full swing, name-dropping cloudflares business model. They resisted blocking them with the now empty anti-censorship excuse. Cloudflare said this for years and this was highly controversial but gave them customers. Everyone fell for it.

@PhenomX6 @xianc78 @gnusocialjp So basically PRS, very globalist way of selling stuff you don't need, but only need because of artificially manufactured "necessity".
Like how Kill Gates made the world's first computer virus, and then also made the world's first anti-virus soyware designed to remove that virus.
Or how they created the scamdemic to then sell lethal injections.

@ryo @PhenomX6 @gnusocialjp Well, to be fair. DDoSing isn't really that hard to do. You just need to get a bunch of people to type a ping command on command prompt or terminal and you can bring a small site to a halt. But I do think that the DDoS "epidemic" is WAY overblown.

Hi. I posted about blocking Kiwi Farms. Thanks!

One of the largest DDoSes in history (targeting a ISP backbone itself) was done by such a botnet. After this was released forks and successors were made using other exploits.
