Cloudflare blocked service to Kiwi Farms, a notoriously transphobic forum with users that stalked, harassed and doxed vulnerable people since it started in 2013, on Saturday, according to an announcement made by Cloudflare co-founder and CEO Matthew Prince. The decision follows weeks of public pressure for Cloudflare to drop its protection service to the site. 

“We just blocked Kiwifarms,” Prince tweeted. “The threats on the site escalated enough in the last 48 hours that, in spite of proactively working with law enforcement, it became enough of an imminent emergency we could no longer wait for them to act.”
