Cloudflare Blocks Kiwi Farms Messaging Board From Internet Services
Major cybersecurity software provider Cloudflare on Sept. 3 blocked messaging board Kiwi Farms, citing an “unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life.”
In a statement on the company’s blog, Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince said that “[v]isitors to any of the Kiwifarms sites that use any of Cloudflare’s services will see a Cloudflare block page and a link to this post.”
“Kiwifarms may move their sites to other providers and, in doing so, come back online, but we have taken steps to block their content from being accessed through our infrastructure,” he wrote.
As of late Saturday, an error message appeared on the Kiwi Farms website saying: “Blocked: Due to an imminent and emergency threat to human life, the content of this site is blocked from being accessed through Cloudflare’s infrastructure.”…
