It's not an infrastructures job to enforce morality outside of the law.

That is a dangerous place to get to. Due process has incredible value. It allows us to live free lives while also punishing and preventing crimes.

I can't even view the US Constitution [1] when my IP is on DigitalOcean (most of the time). Kiwifarms was perfectly accessible from the same connection last night. It's ironic talking about 'due process' when I can't even browse the highest law in the land due to this company.

Someone who is the target of an organized violence campaign by kiwifarms can't live a free life.

That is a great argument as to why law enforcement needs to be empowered and resourced to deal with this stuff. I'll back any effort to do that.

They seemingly can if they just stop posting every waking moment of their life on the internet so it can be scooped up and analyzed by kiwifarm trolls.

Why should an individual doing nothing wrong HAVE to change their own behavior simply to stop being harassed? That’s not a solution, that’s going into hiding.

Also, considering people doxxed her address and kept showing up / swatting her, I doubt that would even be a short term solution at all, other than emboldening the harassers.

When you say "violence" what do you mean? Physical attack? Vandalism? Something that could be remedied with a restraining order?

If there's actual violence being organized here I'm wondering why nobody has been charged with a crime.

What organised violence? People posting shit about you on a forum isn't organized violence.
