Always nice to see yet another word lose all meaning on social media..

Kiwifarms members are literally terrorists. They use fear and violence to push an agenda. They have literally killed people. I don't even just mean by pushing people to suicide (which I do believe is violence as well)- the terrorist who killed worshippers at the mosques in New Zealand posted on Kiwi Farms before the attacks.

This isn't hyperbole. Cloudflare is working hard to keep a website linked with actual real terrorists online.

> the terrorist who killed worshippers at the mosques in New Zealand posted on Kiwi Farms before the attacks.

I think you misread the Wikipedia page. Kiwifarms got in the news for refusing to remove the video as it was not breaking any laws. Not for supporting / encouraging him.

>the terrorist who killed worshippers at the mosques in New Zealand posted on Kiwi Farms before the attacks.

That's not hyperbole, it's simply not true. The shooter posted on 8chan, not Kiwi Farms. You're thinking of a completely different (defunct) website.

Even if true, to take just one of very many examples, if I remember correctly the terrorist that mowed down a parade in Waukesha had a long history of posting violent black-supremacist content to facebook. Are all facebook users "literally terrorists"?
